“ART HAS BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE SINCE FINGER-PAINTING AT FIVE. WHO KNOWS WHY IT BECOMES WHAT YOU ARE. IT JUST DOES. IT IS A CALLING. “
PAULA FIEBICH
I AM A SIGNATURE MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN WATERCOLOR SOCIETY WHICH I RECEIVED THE GOLD MEDAL OF HONOR FROM IN 2007, AND THE NATIONAL WATERCOLOR SOCIETY. I HAVE SAT ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE NATIONAL WATERCOLOR SOCIETY AS DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT AND AWARDS. MY PAINTINGS HAVE BEEN IN EXHIBITIONS IN EUROPE AND ASIA AS WELL AS IN THE USA.
HERE IS MY CREATIVE PROCESS:
“I work basically in my studio to develop a painting. I will take multiple photographs of my subject and then spend a lot of time drawing and composing. I decide what size I would like the painting to be and proceed to work out a fairly detailed drawing.
I take some time in mixing and developing my colors. Once they are worked out, I will decide, depending on subject matter, what area to work on first. I use masking where needed and work in layering my washes from light to dark. I keep the white areas of the paper as highlights and rarely use a Chinese white or an opaque white to achieve them. My watercolors up to this point have been purely done with transparent watercolor without the use of opaque color.
