Two Starts and Stops - Full sheet watercolors
This selfie, I just entered into the 34 Annual International Show for the San Diego Watercolor Society, and the "Pagoda Garden Delight" is a scene that we will be painting in a workshop I'll be conducting at University Art, here in Sacramento, CA. It is a great exercise in saturated color, value control, and a little negative painting. Both paintings are on 22 by 30 inch, 140 lb. Arches cold press watercolor paper.

Practice, practice, practice.
Practicing or doing painting studies is like rehearsing for a stage play. You learn your lines and acting moves, tweak them, and become ready to entertain and engage the audience. I never tire doing the same portrait subject, because it only improves my work. Here are some acrylic and watercolor studies of a California cow girl.

Getting closer?????
Two thousand watercolor artists the world over entered The Art Of Watercolour's (a prominent French art magazine) first World Watercolour Compitition with moire being one of them. A few months ago, I past the first judging stage, and last week, I past the second stage. The competitors have now been culled down to 294 selected artists (that's "artistes" in French, and I have probably misspelled the word!). Twenty five to thirty will finally be chosen in the third and final judging stage for the winter exhibit in bon France, and I am hoping that I will be lucky enough to make that final cut. Like my French???
