Salt Meadow Gallery represents several watercolor artists,
each of whom has a distinct style. Sergey
Zhiboedov's landscape scenes are so detailed that
they are frequently mistaken for photographs when viewed
from a distance. Shizue Cooper displays a delicate touch
with her impressionistic floral compositions. Andrea
LaVoine FavRet's landscapes and seascapes are saturated
with color and are striking in their simplicity. Mike
Helfen creates breezy and casual scenes of boats and
harbor scenes in addition to small paintings on easels
featuring fanciful fish, flowers and mermaids.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
Watercolor is a painting technique using paint made
of colorants suspended or dissolved in water. Although
the grounds used in watercolor painting vary, the most
common is paper. Others include papyrus, bark papers,
plastics, leather, fabric, wood, and canvas.
Watercolor painting began with the invention of paper
in China shortly after 100 AD. In the 12th century the
conquering Moors introduced papermaking to Spain and
the technology spread to Italy decades later. Some of
the oldest paper manufactures include Fabriano, Italy,
opened in 1276, and Arches, France, opened in 1492.
