Caroline Deeble shared her thoughts on working with Luminescents: “At first I wondered where these watercolors would fit within my work. It was challenging to decide where to add sparkle, so I started with things in the real world that shine naturally, like glass or water. It’s fascinating how the colors jump out at you.”
