Shell Rummel's newest collection for Free Spirit showcases the various techniques she uses when creating with watercolors and inks. From finely pointed watercolor brushes that allow a level of detail akin to working with a fine-tipped ink pen to sweeping lush sable brushes that leave a broad pool of color behind, Brushstrokes celebrates the depth and breadth of Shell's painting style in a soft palette of blues and pinks. She aims to achieve that beautiful balance between saturated color, watery washes and controlled brushwork. From pattern to pattern, she harnesses the often-mysterious fluidity of painting with water, honoring both loose, flowing designs and accentuating delicate, intricate details.
