Tea Paintings: Spring Teapot by Carol Gillot

Artist Carol Gillot grinds pigments herself for her watercolors. Their granular richness adds a unique intensity to her paintings - earthy ochres from Burgundy, Burnt Siennas from Tuscany, Terre Verte from Provence, and Vermillion red from China.

Carol has an exhibition at the Petrossian Boutique in New York (911 7th Avenue near Carnegie Hall) of tea salon paintings.
