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! 

another demo coming up!

 Next Monday I'm doing another live demo on Zoom, this time for the Salem County Art League in New Jersey. I'm really loving the option of conducting my demos via Zoom, as it allows me to teach for art groups anywhere in the world! Even better, the audience can tune in from anywhere in the world! My last zoom demo of the koi was so much fun, and so many artists asked me to do it again that I'm doing a similar painting for this next demo. 

Once again, I'll be using my favorite art supplies! Sennelier watercolors, Leonardo paper from Hahnemuehle, and the Water Lily line of brushes from Dynasty Brush.  

Thrilled to win!

 I'm thrilled to announce that my painting "Portrait of Chris" won second place in the Alaska Watercolor Society 46th Annual National Exhibit!

Check out what I have to say about the new Water Lily line of brushes from Dynasty Brush! 

I'm also pleased to announce that Dynasty Brush quoted me and used my painting in their latest promotional video!
