Veil Painting
My work with watercolor painting started in my Waldorf teacher training in 2004. Having avoided it in my art training in college, I was completely flumoxed by the fluidity and lack of control that I had with the medium. My initial attempts were unsophisticated and childlike, and my work with my students was acceptable, at best.
It was only when I began a deeper, 7-year study of veil painting with David Taulbee Anderson in New York City that I began to get a feeling for the qualities of watercolor painting and feel confident in my application and approach.
In veil painting the image and colors are developed on the page by overlapping thin layers of highly diluted primary colors. The process requires patience, as each “layer” has to dry completely before applying subsequent layers. Each one of these paintings was created in about 8 hours, with painting sessions spread out over the course of 4 days.
Most images are 18” x 24”, Watercolor on Paper, completed 2007-2016.
