Watercolors: It's been a while

http://george-watercolors.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-been-while.html

Thursday, September 10, 2009. It's been a while. I haven't been doing much studio painting in the past month. Although I have taken weekly plein air sessions and have been drawing a bit more and creating watercolor sketches. I've also rented a number of art instructional DVD's on drawing and have been creating a number of small pencil sketches. Lastly, I recently purchased an Iwata airbrush set and will begin experimenting with using the airbrush in my watercolor paintings. Connecticut, United States.

Watercolors

http://george-watercolors.blogspot.com/2009/10/heres-version-2-in-series-of-indian.html

Saturday, October 3, 2009. Here's version 2 in the series of Indian Cove. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Connecticut, United States. My interest in art started as a child but laid dormant while I worked in a career resolving family conflict as a mediator. It's a long story with academic roots in mathematics and psychology, an enjoyable chapter teaching middle school students and a conclusion with work in State government. As you can see, the path to painting has been circuitous. Original art for sale.

http://george-watercolors.blogspot.com/2009/10/version-3-in-indain-cove-series.html

Saturday, October 3, 2009. Version 3 in the Indian Cove Series. Now that it's posted I can see areas that need adjusting. In looking at the paintings they appear to have a great deal of lemon yellow in them. While the paintings themselves don't appear quite so heavily tinted I think I might glaze the yellow, yellow-green portion of the painting to modify it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Watercolors: Still Life: Wine, Fruit, and Crystal

http://george-watercolors.blogspot.com/2009/09/still-life-wine-fruit-and-crystal.html

Monday, September 21, 2009. Still Life: Wine, Fruit, and Crystal. This is the latest painting I've been working on. In the past week I've gotten out for a plein air session and attended 2 art workshops. I also managed to work with my new airbrush, and attended an opening at the Paint and Clay Club. Not a bad week.

Watercolors: Painting

http://george-watercolors.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-painted-plein-air-week-or-so-ago-and.html

Wednesday, September 30, 2009. I painted plein air a week or so ago and worked at Indian Cove in Guilford. From my value sketches and plein air painting I came back to my studio and painted this. The colors didn't translate well from the painting to the web. The painting is a bit darker and muted. Labels: plein air painting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Connecticut, United States.

Watercolors: Airbrushing with watercolor

http://george-watercolors.blogspot.com/2009/09/airbrushing-with-watercolor.html

Sunday, September 13, 2009. I was on the internet and came across some interesting watercolor paintings where the artist had used brush work and also airbrushed sections of the painting to achieve a rather interesting image. The artist's name is Kirk Lybecker. And you can see some of his work by clicking on his name in this message. Take a look! If this doesn't work out as a tool for fine art, maybe I can go into business painting fingernails or putting images on birthday cakes. Connecticut, United States.
