Artist Statement: For this watercolor I tried to capture a unique perspective on nature. I explored a new medium for me, watercolor. I enjoyed the luminescent color and layering and masking to create many effects. I also tried to capture the unique detail of the birch tree bark in this piece. I tried to achieve color variation and contrast in the leaves. I like to depict nature because I love the organic shapes. I don’t usually like to have to pull out a ruler!
