Merging Colors


Emil Nolde, described as a German Expressionist, was a master of watercolor. I think his watercolors have the perfect balance of color and form. I tried to replicate one of his paintings. It was an quite exercise in speed (time I had before the paint dried up, and were no longer manipulable), and improvisation (allowing the various colors to merge and mingle).
