Earlean Marsh            Watercolor, Calligraphy, Pen & Ink

Picture
The challenge of preserving in watercolor the fragile beauty of flowers has been my main goal the last five years. It’s also a way of prolonging summer beauty and personal memories from flowers given by friends. I tend to keep things and this is a way of saving something concrete from a very specific moment in time. There’s so much beauty around, especially if you narrow your focus and get close. Sometimes the beauty is in water or the way the light is striking objects.

I like the unpredictability of mixing colors wet in wet as well as more controlled linear details on dry paper. Vivid colors and dramatic details increase my enjoyment. Oils, pastels, even china paint are too predictable to currently hold my interest.

As a former high school art and drama teacher, I’ve taught lots of different classes from drawing to designs. I like to achieve balance by taking classes from instructors that are completely opposite in styles and methods.
