words of wisdom from Thomas W Schaller, Mr watercolor himself! In music - it is the space between the notes that set the rhythm and identity of the final piece. The silences are as important to musical expression as are the actual sounds of the instruments. It is just the same in painting. It is the “negative” shapes that give voice and expression to the “positive. Without the dark, the light has no voice. And so, the areas of a work that are left unpainted are at least as important and powerful as those areas that are.
