Opening reception:  Fri., Dec 5  6-8pm

Exhibition dates:  Dec 2 - Dec 20

 After applying transparent washes wet into wet, and then drying the underpainting,  I began building color with  thick out-of-the tube watercolors including more opaque watercolors (as well as titanium white and neutral tint) all of which provided excellent coverage.  I used traditional brushes, a pallette knife, and the end of a paint brush handle to scrape, apply and slather on paint using an "impasto" and scraffito method.

Abstracted Landscape

Abstracted watercolor landscape on yupo by Janis Goldblatt. 10x14 image.  Yupo is an amazing slick surface that allows the colors to run together, while retaining a vibrant and intense hue.  A great way to handover "control" to the medium!

Pieces Of The Puzzle

Abstract painting by Janis Goldblatt in progress.....After painting landscapes all summer long, I had to go back to working on abstract pieces.  I find that the "mix" of representational and non-representational or abstract keeps it all so very interesting and fresh.    Also, changing my materials maintains a sense of exploration, excitement and seems to enrich the experience!

Acrylic Abstract on Yupo In Progress
