Frank Webb - San Miguel
Watercolor painting by Frank Webb.
Artist Statement: My subject appeared from memory, imagination and by way of a pencil sketch that had been made on location. I re-created created it with small preliminary pencil doodles. Using design principles, I translated visual data into art elements (my own shapes, tones, colors and sizes). If some residue of nature emerges, no harm is done.
