Artshow Postcard Sample Watercolors

So I figured in an effort to actually make more money at this art business it would be helpful to have lower ticket items anyone could buy like a small watercolor postcard.

A lot of time actually goes into creating these little pieces so maybe prints would still be a more affordable option just like with the larger oils to make a more attractive price point while at the same time making sure people who want my art can have it no matter their financial situation.

Below are three very different subjects just to see how I like these little watercolors, and I really enjoyed making these so more to come 🙂

Underpainting? Do You? Work in Progress

So this is the beginning of an oil painting composed with one of the beautiful adobe homes here in New Mexico. I am curious if any artist out there still use the underpainting at all and what benefit is gained from it?

I enjoy using one as staring at a plain canvas can be intimidating. It seems to help me get in the art making mood to loosen up playing with limited colors and brushes in the very beginning of a piece. Anyway I will update  as the work progresses.

Thanks for looking,

Here is an updated photo of the work completed so far.

So here is another update I am nearly done this one needs to dry for a while so I can add finishing details like the door jambs, the zia symbol, and clean up the windows straight lines. For that though I need to put my hands on it as I am too shaky to do it just freehand like a pinstriper.

Creating beautiful Original works of art at a price affordable to everyone. As well as some helpful tips that Ive learned along the way.

I grew up in a small town in Kentucky. Shortly after graduating high school I enrolled in Culinary School and finished in 2007 with an associates degree in Culinary Arts. I worked  in the restaurant industry for a decade using food as my medium of expression. After I evaluated myself and realized it wasnt really about the food it was about the art of creating something other people enjoy and admire. So I decided to get back into fine art which has been apart of my life since I was very young.

Another Seascape

l always loved the ocean we know so little about it, but it covers so much of our planets surface. Anyway  I painted this with very few of the colors shown in my palette below. Tried to keep it simple and let the paint do a lot of work for me on this one.
