New painting!

 I just finished this latest painting! I'll be demonstrating how I create these types of abstracted backgrounds in my next FREE online demo Thursday, January 16th. Click here for details! 

The Scream, 12x16 Annie Strack

This demo is not a paint-along, as the background is painted in stages that need to dry between applications. That's why I've drawn out three paintings to work on. Each will have masking fluid covering the birds while I layer paint to show my new techniques to create the abstracted compositions around them.

Then on Sunday, January 19th, I'm demonstration tips and secrets for painting great seascapes in watercolor for the Baltimore Watercolor Society. Click here for details about that online demo!

This is a two-hour demo so I am planning to demonstrate with two paintings to show a lot of different techniques for painting water, light, shadows, reflections, and more. This event is also a painting demonstration, not a workshop. I know a lot of you are trying to get in my workshops and are frustrated that they always sell-out so quickly, but hopefully I can add more workshops to my schedule soon. I have several dates still available in my calendar for events, so if you want more workshops from me then please tell your watercolor societies, art guilds, art centers, etc., to contact me. I would love to teach a workshop in your town!
