Recently, I read an old Watercolor Highlights magazine that featured a number of artists who paint both intuitively and intelligently. The concept ran true to me. They all begin with a basic idea or plan but are not committed to the outcome. They use the art elements and principles of design to develop their piece one step at a time. So the painting evolves and changes intuitively.
I began the two paintings shown here with color choices and a basic design plan. When the paint dried I began to identify images and added color in areas based on design choices but using my intuition to develop the painting. So the final product surprised me! What fun!
