Songs from the Sea (LinneaMartina_art) · 2nd Annual Women in Watercolour International Juried Competition
Linnea works in several different mediums. She uses the attributes of Watercolour and Acrylic to add complexity within the surface of her paintings to create an illusion of movement; stirring a memory or an emotion for the viewer. Growing up in Calgary and having a cottage in Invermere the 3 hour travel time winding through Alberta’s vast mountains and summer tumbling around in nature is what grew Linnea’s love for nature’s beauty and bases her artwork on this; a constant eye of seeing;” Love for the unspoken words of nature”.
Description: This traditional medium of watercolour on a nontraditional sub-straight gives these watercolours a unique mysterious feel, that leaves the viewer to observe a little closer. The watercolours interaction with the canvas leaves the artist with a constant challenge, leaving the canvas revealing translucent layers with a soft dreamlike quality to the edges of the work. Carefully building these layers, leaving a translucent history, using depth of colour, luminescence & surface transitions, transitions of slight sodalities leaves the viewer an unconventional perspective.
