Another artist Molly Brose in the Artist's magazine wrote about using Yupo paper with watercolor,so I tried it..it is quite fun once you get used to it..you can literally wipe off paint and it doesn't buckle! How great is that?..But..still ..you wipe paint off...sometimes it does't stay...so you have to play with it...I added a glaze and black china markers..so this is "Maddie" a friend's doggie..watercolor ,china marker on Yupo paper.Wednesday, July 18, 2012

Study of Sculpture from Getty
Just completed this small study in Sepia watercolor on Fabriano watercolor paper.On our last visit to the Getty I took some photos..(the ones I was allowed of course.).of some beautiful sculptures that now I wish I had written down the names.Working on my quick tonal sketches.."Gimme a Shot"
Finally finished this 5" x 7" oil on canvas panel..I'm working on a series like this..whiskey in shot glasses,mini bottles of liquor...this is a little "Gentleman Jack" from my boyfriend's favorite whiskey.."Gimme a Shot".Need to do more of these "one a day" ones..just took a while to get the right photo. Donated to Private Collection.Friday, July 6, 2012
"Maddie" work in progress
After reading how artists George James and Jeannie McGuire are creating beautiful watercolors (some mixed with other mediums too) on Yupo paper , I knew I had to go out and buy some! This is watercolor,china marker and pencil on Yupo paper..in progress."Maddie".The paper is super smooth,you can literally wash off color and start over...so much fun ..and takes some work too...Friday, June 29, 2012
"Calla Lillies and Tulips"
A commission I just delivered...I saw an article in one of the artist's magazines on oil painting paper by Arches,so I went out and bought it-it's great! This is a 22" x 30" oil on oil painting paper..Calla Lillies and Tulips.I took an idea from one of Richard Schmid's paintings for the bluish back round from one of his floral paintings."Bailey's"
This is a 5" x 7" oil on canvas panel..I collect the miniature liquor bottles after they've been enjoyed by my boyfriend and me...Donated to Private Collection.
