Recent watercolors…
Some recent watercolors now available as prints on fineartamerica.com
WC study of the Fez Market, Morocco
This is my first watercolor painted on Strathmore Toned Tan Multi-Media sheet. I have used this sheet for life drawing subjects but never tried to paint a landscape. I like the result.
Alexandria, Egypt
First time using Saunders WC paper #140 cold press. I’m sold, really liked the surface.
Another WC study…
A village somewhere in England.
Trying Saunders WC paper
This make of paper was recommended recently and thought I would give it a try.
Saunders Cold Press #90 white sheet. Good color hold out and a very nice surface.
It comes in 140# and should be even better in holding shape and absorption.
Study of a street in France…
Anyone know where? I was given a photo without reference. This is a 10×16 watercolor on Arches 140# cold press sheet. Found out my neutral tint was leaning toward blue. Need to try another.
Venetian Canals
Small seascape
This was a donated image by a friend traveler.
I think I was channeling Ted Kautsky, one of my favorite watercolor artists (American, Architect, Artist 1896-1953) when painting this.
It’s OK but still have a lot of work to do to get to where I am not second guessing every stroke.
Back to Basics
Ran across Tim Wilmot, watercolorist, on YouTube and watched a couple of his online demos and then attended an online in-person event as he painted a street scene in Uganda. Anyway, thought I would post a couple of my first-brush attempts after this instruction. My goal is to become looser in my painting and try more colors. Hard to break old habits.
The Peter Iredale ship wreck is rusty and washed up along the Astoria Oregon coast, within the Fort Steven’s State Park. Site of recent wedding of my nephew.
