Caitlin Leline Hatch has been painting in watercolor for over 20 years. She is known for her soulful, impressionistic watercolor paintings, with work that reflects the essence of its subjects. In animals, figures and landscapes, she captures the interplay of light and shadow. This piece is entitled, “Finding Courage” and it is watercolor on paper. However, it does not require glass! Caitlin has a process that sets the watercolors and allows them to be safely framed without glass!
Artist Statement
Watercolor is a journey of discovery. At times it’s unpredictable, yet that instability is what brings magic and wonder to my canvas. For me, it is a life metaphor; a reminder that unplanned detours can bring unexpected, joyful discoveries.
I use a wet-into-wet technique that allows the water and pigments to move freely while still allowing me to steer the painting toward an established vision. This tension between spontaneity and control brings a special vitality to my process and to the paintings themselves. It allows me to let go and have faith in the process while at the same time capturing the important details that tell the story.
