Confirmed Competitors

Jess Lindell

Jess's goal in her artwork is to employ the 5 C's: combination, contrast, color, correct drawing, and composition. She believes that no medium stacks up to watercolor because of its ability to be abstract and fluid to subtly describe features and objects, or sharp and controlled to accurately render intricate details.

From the artist:

I believe there is no medium that compares to watercolor. It can be abstract and fluid to subtly describe features and objects, or sharp and controlled to accurately render intricate details. I believe that it is the combination of these two elements that makes watercolor paintings interesting.

My goal is to employ the “5 C’s” in all of my paintings - combination (see above), contrast, color, correct drawing, and composition.

Combine these 5 C’s with an expressive subject and magic happens every time.
