Watercolour painting of a pretty stairway surrounded by pink bougainvillea in Turkey. I first visited the south coast of Turkey in 2009 on a painting holiday with another artist. This stairway was a short walk from out hotel that I passed daily. I took many photos and painted this final piece in a loose, expressionistic style. The pink bougainvillea flowers are typical of this region as well as the white-washed stone work. I particularly liked the subtle colours of the shadows on the white staircase in similar hue as the flowers themselves. Although pink is a cold colour, the painting appears quite warm as is this region of the world. I achieved this by adding a very diluted wash of burnt sienna which is a warm colour.
Watercolour 2017. Size: 12 in x 16 in. Paper: Bockingford NOT 300gm.

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.
