What this page is really “about” is to show you a sampling of watercolors I’ve painted with the specific purpose of demonstrating technique, tip, or style. I’m sharing what I’ve learned over the years, watercolor has the advantage of painting itself, and the biggest cause for failure is trying to do too much. I’ll try to help you get a good start but nothing replaces just painting! I’ve heard that this is called “brush mileage”.

How true!!
Hello. I am a beginner and so admire your work. I love to do landscapes but am looking for a brush for stippling of foliage, leaves, etc. Can you recommend one? Thank you so much. Keep on painting.
Hi there… I don’t use a stipple brush nor a sponge. I’ve found when I use these brushes/sponge they look like the were done with these tools and look contrived. Check out Tony Couch, Joseph Zbukvic or Sterling Edwards. Thanks for your comments…
I’ve begun to really love watercolors, and going through your site has been delightful. cheers!
