Virginia Blackstock: Making An Impact

International Artist|April - May 2019

Virginia Blackstock focuses on powerful designs that show the effect of lights and shadows.

Virginia Blackstock: Making An Impact

The luminosity of transparent watercolor and the rich darks that are possible with their staining pigments are a constant fascination for me. I strive to keep my colors clean and fresh, to let them mix wet into wet on the paper in order to bring my closely focused still lifes and natural subjects alive. At the same time, I try to use striking value contrasts to move the viewer’s eye around and through the painting; or to bring more focus to the center of interest.

My plan is to make a powerful design as it is affected by light and shadows. An unusual perspective of a usual scene or object gives impetus to my purpose of action and lends power to the painting. Patterns, colors and textures all call upon my skills to invest life into the subject.
