Artist Statement for Deb
Ward
Teaching
watercolor to adult students is my passion!
Most have been waiting a long time to rekindle their lost love of art
just as I did, and I take pleasure in watching them excel.
The luminosity of water
media and the way colors mingle on the paper are what drew me to the mediums of
watercolor and fluid acrylic. My
favorite ways to paint are by glazing (layering of colors) or by dropping color
onto very wet paper, then spattering or dripping paint and salt to create
texture in the original wash layer. I
love color and strive for striking, sunlit images in most of my work. I enjoy working in a "series" of
similar subjects or ideas, in a realistic manner. My subject matter rarely involves a figure,
but often implies the human element.
“With few exceptions,
when you see my work you know exactly what you are looking at”.
