Sian Jones – ‘River & Sky 1’

Watercolour   2023

A series of sketches. Moving and changing – each moment is unique.

Familiarity with the landscape brings a deeper understanding and emotional attachment and these are the feelings that inspire me to paint.  Working with mixed media is a combination of adding layers.  Like thinking aloud, the mark-making leaves a trace of what has gone before.  Often what seems like an obstacle becomes a new idea.  The challenge for me is trying to maintain just the right amount of control without losing spontaneity.
