Gold Coast Watercolor Society Gathering of Artists & Demo by Patricia Lappin

BEYOND THE BRUSH.
I will be demonstrating my use of various scrappers and spatulas to put paint on canvas /paper, making shapes and lines not possible with a brush. And much faster and fresher.
I love the spontaneity. I want to get that paint on quickly. No hesitation, no fear. Just the joy of manipulating the paint.
I want to paint like a 5 year old kid.
I relish the surprise colors and textures. And
I’m willing to fail, that’s how I learn.
I take risk, I honor my intuition.
I follow the trail of those mental prompts like “what if I make that part darker”?
“What will happen if I put a red line across that white space”?  If you think it – do it.
My demo will be about a new mindset and about using tools BEYOND THE BRUSH.
