ART wom canadian artist en Myra Evans watercolor and mixed media I’m drawn to images that tell a story, show a strong emotion and have a sense of place. My work is inspired by places I have visited or have a special connection to. It’s my hope that people will connect with my art and tell their own story. My approach to each painting involves making several pencil sketches, and then using my reference photos for ideas. I then move on to watercolour paper, using a combination of transparent watercolour paints, inks and fluid acrylics. Even though I begin my paintings with a specific outcome in mind, the fluidity and serendipity of watercolour takes me to a new surprising direction. Once the work is completed, I usually re-discover what drove me to paint in the first place. facebook website
