These pictures are when I was the Guest Artist at the Statesville Art Guild. I did a Watercolor pouring technique.                   How to: Mix about 1/4 inch paint from the tube into about 1/2 oz water for each color (use primary colors). Use plain water to spritz your watercolor paper and allow to soak in for just a minute. Pour each color randomly on the paper. Tilt the paper in different directions. Pour off and blot the excess water. Turn the paper in different directions to develop an inspiration of what the painting can be. Start adding darks and details until you have a finished painting. Be willing to let go and let the paint do the work. Have fun! 

 

This is the back entrance to the studio and gallery. A pretty little cottage garden to inspire the senses.

 

 

The excitement of finishing and framing a beautiful work of art!
