Dylan McKnight’s watercolors connect the viewer with a resonant memory or emotion of a familiar subject.  Through a carefully chosen, limited palette, he allows the intrinsic qualities of the pigments to reveal themselves to the viewer in a way that is unique to the medium.  His use of expressive dry brush strokes accentuates his strong drawing skill, and contrasts with the softer, ethereal quality achieved through wet-into-wet application.  This approach invites his viewer to engage with the painting, sparking a memory to fill in the details he’s left undefined, thereby forging a personal connection with the piece and completing the story.
