The unpredictability and uncontrollable nature of watercolor makes it a most exciting and expressive medium.

Traditionally, watercolor employed only thin, transparent washes of pigment. Beautiful, delicate paintings have been and still continue to be produced with school of thought. Contemporary watercolor, however, allows for much greater freedom of technique and material.

Moving from the accepted definition of watercolor into the realm of mixed media opens up a huge new range of possibilities. The blending of watercolor with ink, pastel, collage and other waterbased media is an exciting form of expression. The process of building up, altering, editing, destroying and rebuilding allows a painting to develop a life and momentum of its own.
