Behind the Scenes: Watercolor

Watercolor is a favorite medium of the Lacefield design team... it is one of the most efficient ways to translate a design idea or inspiration onto paper.  The designers love the fluidity and organic nature of watercolor paint.  The effect of watercolor is much softer than using pencil or marker and the cleanup is so much easier than working with acrylic or oil based paints.  Anne, who has been a designer at Lacefield for seven years, loves working with watercolors so much that she paints animal portraits and amazing architectural renderings in her spare time!

because it is portable and the clean up is so easy
