I’ve worked with the watercolour medium for over 45 years. My paintings convey the complexity of form and the translucence of colour and light.
In-Studio Watercolours
On Location Watercolours
Painting watercolours is like life:
Work with a structure
Draw and plan
Create a solid foundation
Good reference material is critical
Keep your colours clean
Establish a full value range
The silent whites are as important as the bold darks
Accommodate little errors
Avoid making big mistakes, recovering is hard work
(But it’s easier to recover if you use quality paper and transparent colours)
You will make mistakes and need to reevaluate
Take time to reflect
Look at the big picture and notice the detail
Know when to move on
Keep the play and the fullness sparkling
