I have recently been reflecting, in my watercolour paintings, upon reflections. I am enjoying the effects I can achieve by blobbing my paint onto the paper, wet and dry, then squashing and dragging it. Here are a few watercolour reflective experiments. Based on the sleepy, murky Murray River, the scene of many a fondly remembered camping holiday and kayaking trip, I have tried to capture the great river’s mesmerising power.
