Fluid Fusion

Pigments merge and create subtle gradients in Ian de Hoog's traditional wet-in-wet approach

- By Ian de Hoog

In the delicate dance between precision and creative freedom is the heart of my watercolor practice. Through my current series exploring avian subjects, I orchestrate an intricate interplay between fluid, expressive wet-in-wet techniques and carefully rendered details. This approach manifests in pieces that simultaneously capture both the ethereal spirit and physical presence of birds in their natural state.
