Description
“Paper Roses 1” by Catherine Macaulay is one in a series of three. Each of them shows one or two rose blossoms caught at peak beauty. Vibrant hues in watercolour on paper reflect the vitality of the flower’s life. This confident painting catches a delicate balance between appearance and reality.
“Paper Roses 1” by Catherine Macaulay is created on the classic support for watercolour. Here the rose’s apparent glow is caused by the paper being visible between particles of pigment. Watercolour paintings should not be hung in direct sunlight and should be protected from cigarette smoke and moisture.
Watercolour paint is considered among the most difficult mediums to master, and this beautiful example of the form is truly luminous.
