Kokopelli's Song
Splash 5: Best of Watercolor
The Glory of Color...pg. 104
Have Fun, Work Quickly,
and Use a Wide Brush
"Spontaneity and color are what make my paintings
fun. I work quickly and ruin many...the fun part is when the whole
thing comes together. Technique: I use Golden fluid acrylics mixed
with whatever is nearby, such as pastel, ink, crayon, alcohol, etc.
After blocking out what I want to save with frisket, I splash color on
with a wide brush."
Painting Texture
Best of Watercolor...pg. 27
"All aspects of paintings use texture as part of the
whole. In Kokopelli's Song, I used clear shelf paper to block out
images I wanted saved and then applied paint with a wide brush. Many
techniques were used to create the texture - imprinting with paper towels,
tissues, frisket, charcoal, crayons, alcohol, and tracings - all part of
the process necessary to complete the painting." |

Radiant Geometry
In Harmony With Nature
Printing Techniques for a New Age...pg. 136
Experimenting with Images of Outer Space
"The not quite-known gives free rein to one's
imagination. Rather than becoming literal in my translation of the
cosmos, I preferred to let invention take over and emotion finish the
painting. I mixed acrylic paints with water to pour directly onto
the board, letting the colors mingle. The I cut out circles of
different sizes and moved the empty circles around the board to see where
they had the most exciting effect by surrounding the colors already
there. Next I placed each corresponding circle over the right spot
as a mask and sprayed a different color around each one until it was
surrounded by dark space. After lightening and darkening the edges
of the moons to give them roundness, I sprayed white to suggest trails,
followed by color to soften the effect."

Retreat from the Present
Artists of Arizona I...pg. 97
"A mystical approach combined with disciplined execution
characterize the work of Sidney Moxham. She has been painting almost
exclusively in watermedia for over a decade. Her technique leans
heavily on pours and airbrush and is always marked by bright colors.
Her most recent works portraying the mysteries of outer space have been
included in the American Watercolor Society's 118th Exhibition in
1985. The Western Federation of Watercolor Societies chose two of
her space studies for their 1986 Exhibition in Houston, Texas.
Numerous Arizona and regional exhibitions have displayed her work.
She has been represented in national traveling shows, winning a number of
awards including Best of Show, Awards of Distinction, the Grumbacher
Medallion and Arches Purchase Award. Her work is included in
southwest corporate collections as well as private collections throughout
the country. Moxham is a juried member of the Arizona Artists Guild
and the Arizona Watercolor Association in which she is a Royal Scorpion
member of the Coatimundi Society, the highest honor earned within the
Association." |
