Lon uses the finest professional grade Winsor Newton paints from England to create his watercolor paintings. Paper for these paintings is limited to either Arches, a French paper, or Twinrocker, a handmade paper from Indiana. Each is 100% archival. Lon begins with a pencil study to arrange the composition. The paper is then stretched on a watercolor board. Then he transfers the drawing to the stretched paper, and works on an upright Italian easel, the same used for his tempera paintings. He prefers a technique called "drybrush," which combines luminous glazes and fine detailed brushwork over glazes. His goal is to model the image in a method akin to drawing. This results in a painting often compared to egg tempera. |
