![]() It’s wonderful that you were able to realize yours at such a young age. For me, there is nothing better than watercolor painting, I’m new, 2 years, and have no idea what my style is. Kudos on tapping into that which brings your heart, soul and eyes daily joy. Some of your work is better than my photography! Your style is one I’ve not seen before, and I am deeply impressed. And I would have uttered a familiar refrain to you about the precision, detail, 3D, accurate, sharp focus of your paintings. ![]() I was a photographer, weddings mostly, for 25 years. I’m uncertain how your Doodlewash post managed to escape me, but I just viewed it, and nearly fainted from disbelief. I recommend Daniel Smith paints, Fabriano Artistico paper and Escoda brushes. Student grade paint uses less pigment and more binder (filler) so it is difficult to get deep rich color. Watercolor is a difficult medium, there’s no need to add to the challenge with inferior products. Do not skimp on your paint, brushes or paper-use professional artists grade materials. I encourage people to spend first on the important things. If you are just starting out, materials can be expensive. But I was born to paint and now embrace the challenges and joys of the artist’s life. I learned valuable skills in business, marketing and networking. ![]() ![]() I began entering exhibitions and winning awards, which gave me the encouragement to keep going.Īlthough frustrated at the time, I wouldn’t change the career choices I made. In addition, it was when I started to paint my wife and children that my art stepped up to a new level. Being married to an artist isn’t easy, and I wouldn’t be where I am without her love and support. ![]()
