She uses a limited color palette and a looser painting technique, allowing the paper and paint to &#8220;do what they want&#8221; as part of the process. Wet paint can be pushed around to create interesting effects. The slick, non-absorbent surface of the paper allows the colors to remain vibrant and to flow and blend differently than on traditional watercolor paper. Paint can also be lifted easily with a damp brush to add edges, highlights, whiskers, etc. Once the paint is dry, she may add a touch of color pencil if needed to add detail or contrast. Ann&#8217;s intent with these paintings is to interpret the subject, not to paint it exactly, although she does strive for accuracy of proportion. For non-commissioned works, after selecting the reference photo, she&#8217;ll often choose a title which is related to a color and then figure out the color scheme.<\/p>\n<p>She also works in the more traditional watercolor on paper style, although she may use ink and\/or color pencil in those works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For more information about these paintings, please click on any thumbnail.
