Peek In The Studio – Underpaintings

These are few recent paintings getting going in the studio. A lot of varying texture in these.. They should be very fun to paint as we move into color. Enjoy!

        Rebecca,

        I really would like learn the process in which that you paint.

        I’m a artist but I use acrylic medium in my paintings. You
        use watercolor & gouache and I love the rendering in
        your paintings. Please provide a couple links to view
        a video of your step by step painting in gouache.

        What brand watercolors do you use? Are transparent
        color brands the same brands as the opague ?
        What is the thickness of the paint…can you describe
        how much to thin it with water? When I’ve tried to use
        the gouache I always lift the paint underneath my top
        coat. How do I prevent the lifting of color?

        Thank you!!

          Hi Clarence. I don’t really have a step by step teaching video right now. Most of what I do has been focused on what collectors have wanted to see. I have a quick draw video over on my youtube – that is the closest I have to what you are looking for.

          I use most every brand of watercolor. Some paint lines are a mix of opaque and transparent, some are one or the other, it depends on the paint. All of them have a use depending on the effect I’m trying to achieve. Thickness of paint depends on what I’m trying to do also.. glazing color to intensify an area will be thinner than paint I might use to put in fur for example. Lifting happens when you aren’t using light enough strokes and/or you are brushing too much in one spot and saturating the under layers causing them to pull up. ..though some times you want that if you’re making an adjustment. ;) Hope that helps.
