"Preparing & Painting on Masa Paper"
by Judi Pedder
"My landscapes reflect a strong connection to earth and it’s natural beauty, and my need of, and love for, wide-open peaceful spaces. Born under the sign of Pisces, I have a particular affinity for beaches, the ocean and smaller bodies of water, which frequently appear in my work.
I also love to garden and care for house plants. I find that painting a closer, more detailed view of nature provides a stimulating change from landscapes. Painting on Masa paper produces a quite different look to some of my work and always brings questions from curious viewers.
Currently working mainly in watercolours, I like to explore ways of using basic materials to achieve different effects; for example pouring paint and allowing it to blend without my assistance."
