Right now, I’m running a Valentine’s special. When you order a framed watercolor painting, it will include a four-pack of blank greeting cards and a sticker pack, all boxed up and ready for your Valentine. Just place your order by February 6 to ensure it arrives in time.
Here is a charming orange cat backlit by the afternoon sun. His whiskers glow as he looks at a bird in the distance.
I enjoy painting in several mediums, and this winter watercolor has been especially fun to explore. My watercolor setup is minimal. I use a Schmincke Horadam limited palette and a tiny Bijou box with an attached water flask to create these paintings—the entire setup fits in my shirt pocket.
Painting with watercolor feels similar to working in oils, yet new at the same time. The palette of colors is quite different from what I would choose on my own, and that’s part of the fun. Look closely and you’ll see free-flowing pencil lines and layered watercolor washes. I’m really enjoying making these paintings, and I think it shows.
All watercolor paintings are created with professional watercolors on Baohong 140 lb or Arches 140 lb paper.
