Original Watercolor on Aquabord, 14 x 11"
This watercolor was inspired by a picture I took of gladiolus plants I came upon one day. I love their shape and variety of color. Because this flower was white, I was free to make the background a vibrant blend of wet-in-wet colors as a contrast that makes the white stand out as the star of the show. Aquabord is an absorbent textured surface that receives water-based paints much like watercolor paper. It plays a little differently on the surface, but you can essentially use the same techniques. The nice thing about using aquabord is that when finished, you treat it with a varnish and do not need to have a mat or glass. You can usually find a reasonably priced standard 11x14" frame to place it in.
