Tracy Ann Holmes featured in Voyage Phoenix
Water colorist, sculptor and SAAG member Tracy
Ann Homes was recently featured with an article in VoyagePhoenix, an online magazine. To read her story click here.
In the article Tracy says "My watercolors are like meditation for me. You know that feeling you get when you are 3/4ths of the way through a puzzle and all the pieces seem to be sliding into their spots? Watercolor is like that for me. I love the flow of the color on the paper and the combination of control and serendipity that happens with watercolor. I especially love when I am painting a person or animal and I capture that spark that make the eyes come to life. I paint mainly from my own photographs and gain permission from photographers before I use their work as reference. I start with a light pencil sketch/cartoon on Arches 300lb Cold Press paper and use Winsor & Newton watercolor paint.”
