Artist Statement:  My name is Barbara Rosenzweig and I’m from the USA, cherishing art in all things, all my life. My love of nature and art began as a child growing up in culturally rich Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There, I had the opportunity to hike through the woods, walk through the creeks, appreciate the unique wildlife I found, and still take advantage of the wealth of museums the city offered. A favorite watercolor technique of mine, mingling, allows me to keep colors bright, yet combine them to make a rainbow effect. To achieve this look without muddy results, I lay down one color, then quickly rinse the brush, add another color and place it just touching the previous one before it dries.

This can be repeated allowing the colors to gently mix, but keeping their unique qualities, too. Besides the rich shadows in many of my paintings, I also use this technique to create my Rainbow Animals and Sports Series watercolors. The results are always surprising and fun! That’s the beauty of watercolor – unexpected splendor.
