Aqua Figura is a collection of watercolour paintings that celebrate the female body. Watercolour is a medium that commands a finely tuned technique, one that has taken me years to perfect. I mostly paint my figures in one layer. This means that all the detail must be placed down quickly and correctly, all brush stokes remain forever visible in the painting and can't be covered over, so there is no room for error. You can see my process videos on twitter. I really enjoy the medium, it in itself is hugely inspiring for me and I feel lends itself wonderfully to the delicate female form. Sometimes I control the liquid and other times I let it control me, allowing it to flow freely and create it's own imperfections, reminiscent of our own imperfections in real life.
