FRENCH ULTRAMARINE BLUE

French Ultramarine blue is a staple on my palette serving as my "cool" blue. It is lightfast, transparent and medium staining. It’s a great sky pigment due to its sedimentary properties. Mixed with Quinacridone Gold, it produces beautiful greens. Neutralize it with Quinacridone Burnt Orange for a wide range of blue to brown grays. Great purples can be mixed using French Ultramarine Blue with either Quinacridone Rose or Pink.

SOUL

“I am a contemplative artist who has trouble accessing verbal skills. Finding the right words to talk about the amazing things I observe around me can be frustrating. It is much more natural for me to pick up a paintbrush, some embroidery floss or my camera when I wish to share some new discovery. The artwork I create is meant to be enjoyed on whatever level the viewer experiences it and not layered with complex meaning. Feathers, fur, flowers and the incredible variation I find in wildlife not only inspire me, but compel me to share every nuance with you.
