Eleen Lin, Meditation on water, 2019, Watercolor and gouache on paper, 30 x 44 in. (76 x 112 cm)Lin’s process for developing new works is deliberate and multi-layered. Using watercolor, gouache, ink and pastels, she creates her initial compositions on paper. Next, she moves to oil and acrylic on canvas to create expanded versions in a larger format. In her third and final large-scale version (typically 72” x 96”), she starts by using acrylic paints almost as watercolors, laying down a wash on the canvas, followed by a detailed, oil paint rendering of her imagery. In this way, her process mirrors the complexity of her paintings, which work on multiple levels of symbolism and meaning.
