My name is Charlotte Lenssen. I am a third generation artist in my family. I grew up in Germany and my grandfathers work was featured in the northern part and my aunt a well known abstract artist in Bremen.

I have always dabbled in art as long as I can remember. My art was featured in local art shows since I was in high school. My work has been shown, in Florida, Houston and Durango.

I received a BA degree in Studio Art and Art Education and taught in the public school system for 5 years. Art in every form has always been part of my life.

Watercolor remains my favorite. Lately I’ve been creating jewelry using the centrifugal casting method with gem stones, and mosaics. I enjoy diversity and seeing people light up when they chose a piece of my work.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
