Watercolor - No Damage Highlights by Vera Dennen
By Vera Dennen
As an established artist I receive many questions from
beginning or intermediate watercolorists who have become
frustrated by one step or another. How to deal with a large wash, when and where
to add shadows, how to simulate texture such as tree bark, and many more
undertakings which can prove daunting to solve on ones own.

Watercolor Painting Demonstration - "Belcanto Tulip"
By Michele Frantz
I do a lot of these small "flower portraits" with dark, blue/green backgrounds. This
is an approach I picked up from Virginia artist Joe Phillips. I use it a little
differently than Joe, but it's been pretty successful for me so far. I don't know why

Contemplation
By Rich Bloechl
When I began to develop ideas for this painting, I began with an image I had
taken while in the Army, stationed in Vietnam. I was walking down a street in Can
Tho, were I was stationed, and I came upon an old gentleman squatting on the
corner. I pulled out my trusty Kodak Hawkeye camera and took a picture. I carried
a camera with me just about everywhere I went...

Denver. The last time I passed by, the late-day sun was casting some interesting
shadows on the building so I snapped this picture. It's a low-resolution digital
photo shot with an inexpensive Largan Chameleon camera. The Chameleon is very
small and therefore quite handy to carry around all the time.

Watercolour paints are bought in the form of blocks known as pans and half-pans,

In the early stage of our painting explorations, we have a tendency to treat each
surface and each edge in the same way. We're still filling in and staying between
the lines, as we learned to do in our childhood coloring books...

Painting with watercolour
By Billy Campbell B.A. (hons) U.W.S.
Even before I start the drawing for a picture it is important to plan from which
side I want the light to come in this case it will be from left to right. Stage one in
any painting is the drawing, I use a 2b pencil to lightly do the sketch. I work out
at this stage what the major point of interest is going to be (in this case it will be

Lily Pond
by Ronnie Cramer
I recently splurged and got a 24-pan set of Schmincke Horadam watercolors,
which I used for this painting. My friend Victoria has a beautiful lily pond outside
her home in North Carolina. This drawing of it was done with a 6B Mars
Lumograph pencil.
