Matthew Natale, watercolorist, is a member of Florida Watercolor Society, Central Florida Watercolor Society and Palm Beach Watercolor Society. Natale is making significant strides in the field of watercolor art through his innovative and experimental approach. Central to his technique is a novel 'dry then wet' method that utilizes the distinct attributes of watercolor crayons.
The process begins with the application of dry crayons to the paper, creating a textured base layer that imbues his work with a unique sense of depth and tangibility. Subsequently, Natale introduces water to the pigments, catalyzing a captivating interplay of colors that elevates each piece to a realm of luminescent, ethereal beauty.
Natale's audacious experimentation challenges the conventional boundaries of watercolor, compelling viewers to encounter this well-established medium from a fresh perspective. His large-scale, immersive abstract compositions vibrate with a kinetic energy.
