His and Hers

His and Hers

This is my most recent watercolor painting. It was painted on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper, 300 g.s.m.weight. Its painted size is 27cm x 37cm.

The painting was done as a commission for a lady to give to her husband for their anniversary. They met many years ago when they parked their boats next to one another.  His is the one on the left..

Because of the message to the painting, I left out all other boats and buildings and am very happy with the final result.

I will be publishing this painting as a demonstration on my watercolor painting site in the future.

Happy painting,

Venice Watercolor Painting Demonstration

I have just finished my latest watercolor painting demonstration.

The painting is of a Venetian Canal and is based on a photo I took when I visited Venice for a couple of weeks last year. I never get tired about painting Venice, it is so full of history, atmosphere and texture that it is like a watercolor artist's paradise!

When I left Venice after my last trip I briefly had a thought that I may have finally done Venice, but within a few weeks I was already looking forward to my next painting holiday there.

Here is an image of the finished painting:

You can find the full demonstration on my Painting With Watercolors site at this address:
Narrow Venice Canal.

I hope you find it useful.

Happy Painting,

Free Watercolor Video Demonstration - Boats,Reflections,Water and Sunsets

The above painting is of Shoal Bay at Port Stephens, New South Wales, Australia.

I have just uploaded a free video watercolor demonstration of this watercolor painting onto my Painting With Watercolors demonstration site.

It can be viewed here: Painting Boats, Sunsets, Reflections and Water

I hope you like looking at the video which has been split into 6 parts.

I am considering offering the full DVD (better viewing than on computer) for sale at a future date.

Happy Painting,
