Cosmos painting...

I remember the series on television called Cosmos by Carl Sagan. Later the space telescope Hubble transmitted awesome pictures back to us on earth. I loved them and it inspired me to paint this picture titled "Cosmos". It is a wet-in-wet watercolor, matted and framed to 38" wide by 30" high. Space truly is the final frontier... go where no man has gone before.

Fractured Painting demonstration

This is a demonstration I did for my students at MCC on Fractured Painting. The idea is to break the composition in to parts or fractures. They can be asymmetrical or symmetrical as in the example below. Then you paint each section as if it were its own painting, yet keeping the balance of how it relates to the whole.

Watercolor demonstration

I teach watercolor at Mesa Community College for the Community Education department. This is one of my demonstrations I did in class on spontaneous watercolor painting. This was a 15 minute demonstration of a simple seascape - waves crashing against the rocks using a limited color scheme of Cerulean Blue, Paynes Gray, Burnt Sienna and a little Viridian Green. Painted on Strathmore velum board.
