Artist Statement
Process:
Luis draws black and white thumbnails of ideas he may want to pursue. He then photographs his subjects, mostly under natural light, with a 35mm digital camera or an iPhone. He manipulates and composes the image using Photoshop. The final image is drawn onto 300 lb. or heavier Arches or Fabriano watercolor paper. On larger pieces he uses masking fluid to prevent the white of the paper from being painted. These masked areas usually are the highlights of the subject. He starts the paintings with light tones and colors and then proceeds to dark ones, moving left to right, when possible. He uses a variety of techniques and brushes to achieve the effect(s) required. The larger pieces may take up to seven weeks to finish.
