KEEPING THE KEY ELEMENT

Alexandra Becker-Black's relationship with watercolors started with an odd step when she was forced to choose a new medium after developing an allergic reaction to oil paints. Within weeks of first painting with watercolors, Alexandra found her medium and her new voice: “As a watercolorist, I am forced to work in the moment, to consider every stroke that I make even if I know that a large painting could be ruined at any moment because of one mistake. I feel that working with watercolor keeps me focused on the true meaning of what each painting is and urges me to remove everything but the key element. It's a beautiful dance that I wouldn't trade for any other medium.”
