They are easy to begin using, yet impossible to master. All that is needed is a couple of grams of quality pigment, water, two or three brushes, a pencil, watercolor paper (over 140 lb.). Put it all in a small sack and hit the road! The paintings below were done on location. Each taking between 20 minutes and 2 hours. I paint subjects that interest me ranging from old buildings, people and animals to broad landscapes. Mostly I prefer landscapes. Below, for your enjoyment, I've posted some I consider successful. For those who are interested, my palette consists of Aureolin, Cadmium Yellow Deep, Chrome Yellow, Lemon Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Cobalt Blue, French Ultramarine Blue, Indigo Blue, Cyanine Blue, Cerulean Blue, Windsor Red, Carmine Red, Hooker's Green, Viridian Green, Sap Green, Burnt Sienna, Raw Umber, Mauve, and Paynes Grey.
