They are filled with energy, light & color. I think I needed to express that. I am still in the process of understanding but it's been really fun and interesting!
I’ve also created a new large painting that is currently available. This new abstract painting is filled with life, emanating a palpable sense of vitality. Swirls of electric blue and touches of soft pink intertwine with bursts of lush green. The composition invites you to get lost in the whirlwind of hues and textures.
‘Bring her with you’ 36x48 inches.

Painting on black paper
Watercolor black paper is a unique and interesting medium for artists who want to experiment with traditional watercolor techniques on a non-traditional surface. The dark background of the paper provides a striking contrast to the bright, vibrant colors of the watercolor pigments. The opaque nature of the paper allows for the creation of dramatic, bold color effects, while the texture of the paper creates interesting and unpredictable patterns. However, painting on watercolor black paper may require some adjustments to traditional watercolor techniques, as the colors may not blend or layer in the same way as they would on white paper. Overall, watercolor black paper is an exciting material for artists looking to explore the creative potential of watercolor painting.
If you are looking to paint with watercolor on black paper, there are a few tips that can help you achieve the best results.
Make sure to use opaque white watercolor to create lighter colors on the black paper.

Avoid using too much water.
Consider using metallic or iridescent watercolors to add shimmer and shine to your painting.
Lastly, practice and experiment with different techniques to create unique and beautiful watercolor paintings on black paper.
