Once Upon a Time – Watercolour by Veronica Hodges
Many layers of diluted watercolour were used to create a scene far removed from our modern bustling lives. A loose suggestion of a time long ago in an unknown land.
Veronica Hodges Artist Statement
I love to paint in watercolour and prefer a loose style of imagery that lets the mind to be drawn on what the rest may be. I make handmade papers from recycled fibres like denim, cotton and pure plants. The process and technique may be over 2,000 years old, but the satisfaction and therapeutic experience is always inspiring and so relaxing. Each paper you create is unique, tactile and textural with individual fibres shining. Each piece can be embellished with leaves, petals, embossed, sculptured, textured, or be left as pure as snow with hints of gold, copper or silver leaf. The feel in your hands is pure luxury and a joy to have been created with your own hands from refuse of home or society. Your imagination is the only thing that limits the use of these gorgeous papers. I run workshops and teach young and old how to recycle and make your own papers.
