Vangi Cathcart "Peacock" 9-10-12


“Peacock”
Vangi Cathcart
Watercolor, 
$80
           The Peacock was birthed in Connecticut where I resided for 25 years and attended an art class in Avon. The instructor was Chinese and taught us to paint the oriental way with ink and watercolor on rice paper using calligraphy stokes. The paint brush was a combination of soft and hard hairs called a bamboo brush. The bright colors selected are more contemporary than the traditional style of Chinese paintings. The instructor demonstrated painting the peacock in class. I began it in class and it was completed in my studio at home.                            ~ Vangi Cathcart
