Little Finch a painting a day

finch

This bird was painted in the Chinese style of watercolor. The idea with this style or philosophy of painting basically is: to say the most with the least. painting the fewest strokes possible and each stoke is placed decisively and assertively. To paint in this manner you must study your subject and know it. You paint it from your memory and without reference. You try to capture not just the likeness but the soul of the subject.


This piece is priced at 50.00 is approximately 10" by 12" on professional grade watercolor paints and paper. If interested or if you have any questions, Please write Shantimarie@aol.com
