Light and atmosphere are often conveyed through delicate washes, subtle gradients,
and the interplay of transparency and layering. Artists use the white of the paper to
represent light, allowing it to shine through translucent pigments and create a luminous
effect. Soft edges and muted tones can suggest mist, haze, or distance, capturing the
mood of a scene with suggestion, illusion and minimal detail.

About Joe Cibere
 |
 |
Joe Cibere is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society, and his painting style demonstrates his love of nature and wilderness. His "abstract realism" paintings integrate strong design and balance with a sense of illusion, and have appeared in "Watercolor Artist Magazine," "Artists Magazine," "Best of Acrylic," "Splash 23," and in the International Artists book "The Watercolor Sky and Cloud Techniques of 23 International Artists." His work is also part of both corporate and private collections. His studio is at Studio Channel Islands, Room R5 in Old Town Camarillo, California.
He's been working on more impressionistic landscapes lately, using non-traditional water media methods for creating what he calls "imaginaries," landscapes that don't really exist and are more conceptual in nature.
To know when he's done with a painting, he has three guides. Does it look good in black and white/greyscale? Does it look good flipped, reversed, and rotated? And is there enough left for the viewer to finish the painting? All goes back to knowing how to start and when to finish your vision.
