Taken from Winsor & Newton’s project sheet: “Using Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors and supplies, this project demonstrates how to paint a luminous, iridescent hummingbird. You will experiment with color mixing, layering, and the addition of Iridescent Medium to add depth and texture to your painting. The techniques demonstrated here can be incorporated into your own painting practice and adopted to a variety of subjects where a shimmery quality is desired.”
About the artist: “Angela Coppola is a self-taught watercolor artist from Phoenix, Arizona. Although she considered herself an artist at a young age, she pursued an education and career in the sciences and didn’t return to art until her early thirties. Her science mind and her art mind were driven by the same traits: an earnest curiosity, a keen eye for subtleties, and imaginative problem solving. She taught herself how to paint and began experimenting with different techniques in watercolor. She developed her own unique style, which combines a high level of detail while embracing flawed elements. She often works on clay panels, which allows her to create paintings that are both luminous and durable. Coppola’s work is often inspired by the suburban desert she grew up in. She is drawn to images that convey a gentle, fleeting nostalgia. She is also inspired by the aging process of both people and objects. By highlighting the patina of life, she hopes to inspire others to see the beauty in the everyday.”
