Vinita Pappas demonstrates the meditative power of watercolor painting through her unique technique using yupo paper.
With a light pencil sketch to guide the placement of the flowers and a stippling brush to blend out the color and create soft edges, Vinita creates a beautiful, freeform background that allows the vibrant fuchsia flowers to pop. Diving into the most intense, contrasting colors, including opera rose, cadmium red, cobalt turquoise, and cobalt blue, Vinita creates a subtle variety of hues that add depth and interest to the painting.
She uses a unique broom brush from a hardware store to create a smooth and blurry background adds another layer of complexity to the painting. The result is a beautiful and unique piece of art that can be a joy to create... if you let it.
