Bow Sprit by Alice Schille
Jane Peterson and Alice Schille captured the effects of the hot summer sun beating down on Gloucester, Massachusetts. Fearless travelers and risk takers, the two watercolorists employed different approaches to their medium: Peterson used opaque watercolor to build up flat patches of color, while Schille dissolved form with fluid, transparent washes. See their work in American Watercolor.
