Textured Watercolor Paintings - My invention!
I want to share with you a new technique I developed while "playing" in my studio. I rather enjoy the visual interest of palette knife work on oil paintings. I decided to create texture in my watercolor paintings using Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground. Watercolor Ground is a product that is usually used to coat a canvas or other surface to accept watercolor paint. So I bought a set of palette knives and got to work. Sketch the painting. Add watercolor ground and allow it to dry overnight (or longer as needed.) Then painted it. I even did a demo on it for Rio Bravo Watercolor Society back in September. My dear friend Dorian was very persuasive. I really like the effect and I think you will too. I will not use it all of the time; but it is a fun and interesting "game to play" while staying in my favorite medium - Watercolor. Just as all of my paintings - it is UV Archival Krylon Varnish Sealed. Then just pop in a frame. |
Original Paintings, Artist Prints and Merchandise
I firmly believe that art should be for everyone. That is why I paint and frame in a variety of sizes and styles. Then we go on to make Giclee Prints, other types of prints and merchandise available for you! I have coffee mugs with my paintings on them. There are Blank Cards in 2 sizes and Christmas Cards!
I even have Womens Scarves, Clothing Items and Home Products through VIDA.
All of these items make great gifts as well!

New FramingThis is one of the new framing options. This painting is bonded to the canvas and sealed with UV Archival Krylon Varnish. The canvas can be shallow like this one or we can use a thicker / deeper one.

Standard FrameBecause I hate the glare of glass or plexi glass
you will find all of my framed paintings handled this way. The painting is bonded to an acid free surface and sprayed with UV Archival Krylon Varnish. No matt, no glass, no glare. OH my! I think you will love it too. |
Artwork - just the way you like it.
Studio paintings are done on Arches paper.
Plein Air Paintings are done on a Plein Air Panel created by bonding the Arches paper to Gator Board.
This creates an acid free base to paint on. The paper doesn't wrinkle and is perfect for Plein Air Competitions.
Paintings have to have the stamp on the reverse side visible for the entry to the event.
All of my paintings are sealed with UV Archival Krylon Varnish.
The next step is up to you.
If it is on paper - It is ready for a Mat & Frame.
If it is on a Plein Air Panel it is sealed and all it needs is Framed.
Or we can mount it to a canvas
shallow or deep and it is ready to hang on your wall.
Any painting can be made into a print, mug, scarf, cards or more.
Something for everyone.
Just share with me your preferences! I am here to help!
