Try “to see” with an artist eye who exagerate contrasts and colors. It is rather easy if you start with photos. When you will be more familiar with this way of seeing, perhap’s ill you look at life differently....

    Watercolor Brushwork Lesson By Steve Fleming

    By Steve Fleming

    I am an artist and teacher who primarily works in watercolor. I have been painting for over 25 years, and teaching for five. I believe that the goal of art should be a creative interpretation of the world around us and not the perfect rendering of what we see. I also strongly hold that art is a process not just a product. We should spend more time involved in the making and experiencing our art and less time worrying about the successful marketing of the piece we are working on. Good art is the result of hard work and dedication, but it only happens when the artists finds their own story to tell.

    Step by Step Watercolor

    The Star of this painting and Demonstration will be the Rose painting “Open Arms”. It is a beautiful climbing rose, which I bought new this year for my garden and I was lucky to see a lot of blooms. I love the colours in this rose and I am looking forward to paint this rose. Since I need time for doing a rose painting, I cannot paint from life, no rose would live such a long time.....

    First of all I have brushed clear water all over the sky area. As the water settles into the paper I now drop a wash of Naples Yellow, as that settles I drop some Cobalt Blue into the bottom area and then I add a mix of Light Red and French Ultramarine. As it dries I go and put the kettle on. It is vital that the paper dries completely or I will spoil the effect...

    Watercolor Demonstration Image

    By D. John Wood

    I have painted this picture for a couple of reasons first is because it is so remote and yet not five miles from the nearest town, it is a fantastic part of Mid Wales that my wife and I love very much. It is a place that lends itself to the artist very much.

    Watercolor Demonstration Graphic

    By D. John Wood
