Shape Painting involves simplifying the design of the image into clear shapes. Each shape is then wet with clear water and the watercolor is dropped into the shape. The gradations and mixtures happen as the wet puddle of color dries and affects the quality of each shape. The result is a spare elegance and intrique within each form of the painting. The work of Jeanne Dobie, Linda Kemp and Sari Staggs have influenced my use of this effective and beautiful technique.
