Free watercolor painting demo -- Kayaks

Here's the finished painting from my demo! I cleaned up a few edges, and I added in two extra kayaks in the background. I made the kayaks in the background lighter in value, color in temperature, and grayer in intensity to depict distance through atmospheric perspective. 

 If you missed my live online demo the other day, don't despair -- I just uploaded it to YouTube! It's one hour long from start to finish. Be sure to check it out, and subscribe to my YouTube channel to get all the latest updates. Better yet, follow me on Facebook, too, then you can watch in real-time when ever I paint live online!

 

I used my favorite art supplies in this demo -- Sennelier colors, Dynasty brushes, and Hahnemuehle paper. These are my "go-to" supplies that I recommend to everyone!

 Great news! I just found out that my painting "Jon L. Seagull" has been juried into the Mid Southern Watercolor Society 51st international exhibit! The show is in Arkansas beginning in February. 

Jon L. Seagull, 8x10 watercolor by Annie Strack

I've been really weak lately as my cancer treatments have just about knocked me out. But the good news is that I'm now at the halfway point in the treatment schedule. By next spring I will be recovered and back to work as usual. In the meantime, it's been hard to keep up. I'm hoping that I'll have a few good days next week, and I will do a free painting demo online. Keep an eye on my Facebook page for the announcement of the exact time for the live demo!
