Inspire Me Thursday - Watercolours

The thing I love about painting in watercolour is the way colours blend in to each other in a wash. So this week I chose to do two of them with colours graduating from red,orange, yellow and purple, blue, green.
To make it a bit different and as an experiment I then wove the two together - mixing the colours again.

This is such a beautiful play of color! I like the contrast between the subtle bleeding/gradations and the very graphic woven shape.

The geometric design created with such spectacular movement of colour is quite exceptional! Being in an architectural/design mode today; my immediate reaction was that your design would translate into a fantastic area rug!

Wow, this is fantastic! What a beautiful job you've done with graduated washes. And weaving the two pieces together was brilliant - the colors leap off the page!

I had to do a double take to see that you actual wove this piece! I love it! The graduation of color really makes the blue pop. Great work!

Beautiful! I love patterns and this is lovely, so many ways you could take this - would make a great background.
