Gazing at the Birches

March 28, 2014 ASAA

Title of Art Piece: Gazing at the Birches
Category: Painting – 2014
Student/Artist’s Name: Leah Allan
School: Lathrop High School
Grade: 12th
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!
Artwork Dimensions: 22″ High X 15″ wide
