Watercolour on Canvas:
This traditional medium of watercolour on a nontraditional sub-straight for the medium gives these watercolours a contemporary feel. The watercolours interaction with the canvas leaves the artist with a constant challenge of getting the colours down before there is too many layers and the watercolour rebels by reversing the painting action by pulling colour off of the canvas!
·Finished with an archival protective layer- no framing behind glass required.
Linnea works the canvas revealing translucent layers with a soft dreamlike quality to the edges of the work. Exactly where your state of mind should be when dreaming about mountains and their vastness and wonder.
My work is in the form of contemporary landscapes and snapshot details of nature. Using Canada’s vast mountains and never ending prairie to give her inspiration; “Love for the unspoken words of nature.” In my work I don’t want to recreate the exact likeliness of a mountain but the feeling you get from these mountains. Using strong lines, colour, tones & negative space to create mountain forms. Creating shifts in the mountain range by the slightest change in line direction, strong bold unexpected natural colours, to spark personal recollections in the viewer from an unconventional perspective, carefully building layers upon layers, leaving a translucent history, using colour depth, luminescence, surface transitions, transitions of slight sodalities. This work you will see something new every time you study it.
