Portraits of Water: Transparent Watercolors

Amy Arntson’s Portraits of Water is a study of the mesmerizing character of water, its surface, depth, and motion.  Her focus is on the water itself.  She does meticulous color studies at sites she travels to all over the world. She creates drawings, notes, and photographs to help precisely capture the uniqueness of each subject. This information is taken to the studio where she typically spends over fifty hours on an artwork, employing design principles and a refined craft of watercolor painting to call to life believable images upon which one can meditate.
