Blue Bear Woods

Project: Fantasy-Minimalism in Watercolor

I created this piece as an artistic experiment, hoping to grow my skill with my new watercolor pencils. Previously, I had experimented with fantasy-minimalism in a digital format in Adobe Illustrator, and I wanted to implement a similar style in a traditional medium. Watercolor pencils translate well to simplicity, so I found this an enjoyable exercise. Creating something outside of the photorealistic in traditional media, something of fantasy, is always how I like to first test a new art form. Letting inspiration come alive on the page with a new media shows me the possibilities for any subject matter.

Image shows a watercolor art piece that features a stylized background of green trees in blue mist, with a blue forest floor, and a stylized blue bear with an angular face.
