“Color is both the visible fact and the miracle of light and
transparency is the quality of being lighted from within. Watercolor pigment lets the light shine
through where it is reflected by the paper.
This unique quality of transparency is the essence of magnificent
watercolor paintings”. – Bud Biggs 1906-1985 American Master Watercolor Artist.
- Bud Biggs was my first watercolor
professor. I’ll be sharing more about
him in the future on my blog
What does this 8”x8” acrylic painting have to do with a
watercolor painting? Everything! I painted primarily in watercolor for fifteen
years before I crossed over into acrylic and oil painting. I brought my love for transparent painting
and achieving that beautiful “warm glow” in my work. Over the years, acrylic and oil paints have
been developed to have more of a transparent look.
Even though this red pepper still-life painting is rendered
entirely with a palette knife, and lots of texture, the paint retains a certain
amount of transparency that gives it an ethereal glow. I’ll forever be grateful to Bud Biggs and the
privilege of studying with a true American Master.
“Red Pepper Charm” is rendered on a wide-border canvas with
the image painted on the sides. It is
