THE SEVEN ELEMENTS OF ART
This watercolor painting was one of the first serious paintings that I rendered when I began to study the medium. I set up my art supplies to enhance the seven elements of art; size, shape, line, direction, texture, value, and color. I also used the principle of rabatment, a favorite of mine.
I painted this on watercolor paper that I primed with gesso. The paint doesn't soak into the paper, it actually rests on top. I also applied salt to the wet paint, causing the paint to expand around the salt, leaving the center, white.
This painting remains in my private collection, and will always remind me of first love in art, watercolor! www.JillSaurFineArt.com
