In a swamp not far from the bog,
Partied wildly, six drunken frogs.
With lily pad beers and croaky cheers,
They danced without any fears.

One by one, they hopped and spun,
Underneath the pale moon's run.
Unaware of the heron's stare,
They continued their wild affair.

The heron watched with a sly grin,
Waiting for the party to thin.
But the frogs, too drunk to see,
Kept dancing with tipsy glee.

"Watch out, watch out!" the crickets cried,
But the frogs' caution had long since died.
So they partied on, those six drunken frogs,
In the swamp not far from the bog.

This painting was hand-painted, using professional Winsor&Newton watercolors and 140lb (300g/m2) cotton watercolor paper.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
