Guiding the gaze
Surreal watercolors work best with plenty of wall around them. A single sheet draws the eye and lets it wander. Subdued evening light supports the effect. Small formats can hold large spaces of thought too.
Notes on the sheet
Good watercolor paper is acid-free and at least sturdy. Ask for details on paper, framing and UV protection so the sheet stays fresh for a long time. Enigmatic motifs work stronger in the original than on a screen, because glazes have depth. Feel free to ask for several photos.
