Carols paintings are more than just art they are a window into the natural world which provides a rich source of subject matter, with its endless variety of colours, shapes, and textures, enabling Carol to produce art that is both expressive, exciting and visually captivating.
Carol's Story
Carol was born in Exeter and brought up in the coastal sea side town of Dawlish. Living near the sea and glorious Devonshire countryside Carol was surrounded by nature. From an early age she was always interested in animals, insects and plants, taking time to study and watch their behaviour.
Carol always enjoyed getting up close to wildlife that most of us pass by. Nature close up! Colours, shapes and seeing patterns in nature excite and drive Carol to create her art. Experimenting with the boldness of acrylics and then returning to her love of watercolours.
​
Carol has recently started to paint again creating some unique pieces of art and now being able to enjoying her creative look on life. Which she hopes you'll enjoy too.
Watercolour in layers
As a watercolour artist, Carol enjoys using a watercolour technique involving layering multiple colours and tones in a distinctive way.
​
Carol's ability to harness the unique qualities of watercolours in this way can evoke a sense of warmth and emotion, enhancing the sentimental value of the artwork.
Watercolour layering and Bokeh
Every piece of art Carol creates is a labour of love, making sure that every brushstroke is just right.
Watercolours are indeed known for their vibrant and translucent colours and creative results that can be achieved through various techniques such as wet-on-wet, dry brushing, and layering.
The end result is a beautiful painting that captures the essence of the subject which reflects the personal relationship Carol has with nature that surrounds her.
