<center><p><a href="https://leegordonseebach.com/workszoom/2331094">”Oak Creek”</a> 14”x20” (#3049) watercolor with Chinese White on Arches
 by Lee Gordon Seebach </p></center>



I painted this in transparent watercolor but then came back in with mixtures of Chinese White  (opaque) to punch in some cool notes and highlights.  I do the same thing with pastels, too, as needed.  I am therefore definitely not a transparent watercolor purist.  I figure that the art police won't bust down my studio door!  To artists who adhere to purism: I think that's cool.  But it's also cool to free your mind from such limitations and do whatever the heck you want to do.

I hope you enjoy seeing this painting.



More to come,


Lee
