the Art of Catalin Bridinel

After working mainly with ink in 2008 I decided for the new year to experiment with some color. After some thought i chose watercolors. I just love the textures and the way the colors mix on the paper.

Another thing i like is the way the whole process is so unpredictable. The ink runs, colors blend, washes fade when they dry. Not to talk about splashes and other totally random techniques. This is my very first watercolor in a long long time so I’m surprised of how nice it turned out.

The watercolor is in fact watercolor (water soluble) pencils. After laying the color of the page I smudged it with a wet brush. All the coloring is just 5 minutes work…
