"Three Horns" (watercolor on canvas 16 x 16 inches) SOLD
I painted this one specially for Salem Art Association’s Salon: Art2 exhibit. All of the artwork in the exhibit must be 16 x 16 inches inclusive of frame. I had to think carefully how to meet the size requirement. I didn’t want to fit a watercolor on paper into a 16 x 16 inch frame since the artwork would end up being 12 x 12 at most. I didn’t have any 16 x 16 inch aquabord either. So I stretched watercolor canvas over a 16 x 16 inch frame and gallery wrapped the edges.
It has been quite some time since I tried painting on watercolor canvas. Paint lifts from watercolor canvas even more easily than it does from clayboard. The surface feels like a cross between clayboard an yupo (a plastic paper) to work on except that the unlike board or paper the canvas gives a little to the brush. I like the canvas’ linen texture, but I’m not sure I like the painting experience as much as the board, though that may be just a matter of getting use to the new surface.
This painting has sold, but prints are available through my gallery at Fine Art America.
