studio update 4/16/09
by Gordon Fraser
It’s been a busy six months outside of the studio, but I did still find time to paint. Here are the fruits of my labors as I finally got around to posting images of my work from this past fall and winter! I put down the oil paints for about 9 months just working in watercolour, mostly large format. I was focused on pushing the medium of watercolour to its limits and discovering its expressive potential. Playing with the transparencies and opacities of different pigments through building up and washing off layers upon layers of paint.
