Multi-Media Approach

At its best, watercolor alone by a skilled artist can be beautiful, transparent, and colorful!  At the same time, the addition of watercolor pencil and pen and ink mediums to some images can add boldness of line and strength of color that can be hard to achieve by watercolor alone.  While I have explored watercolor painting to move myself away from rigidity, this multi-media approach is quite a natural extention of my background in architectural rendering.  If it works better for some paintings and adds variety to my work...why fight it?
