Before Coffee, Watercolor Ink on Paper
Painting by Brad Rickerby
Original Sold, Fine Art Prints Available
The title says it all. This painting was created before I had had my morning coffee. I refuse responsibility for anything I do before coffee in the AM. I don't know what got into me the morning I created this. I took a large piece of watercolor paper and started putting high pigment colorful watercolor ink on. I would cover the first layer with wax paper so that it would smooth and blend. When the ink was almost dry I took off the wax paper and started dropping in more inks of different colors.. When the paper was all but dry, I splattered on some watercolor paint. The watercolor paint was just wet enough to splatter.
When I was finished I got some coffee, thankfully. It wasn't until a couple of days later that I looked back at my creation and found that I rather liked it.
The original painting is sold. You can however purchase Fine Art reproductions of this work. Drop me an email at brad@bradrickerby.com for details.
I really like this too. I have been thinking about learning to do water colors. Waiting until the summer when more money is coming in to invest in the paints and paper.
