Gargoyle in Watercolor
Gargoyle Commission
In 2005 I was commissioned to create this Gargoyle in watercolors and I usually take photos during the progression of a painting to share with the client.
My students often ask to watch me paint - I have a sneaking suspicion that they learn a great deal from the observation . . . Their asking triggered the idea of creating this slide to share with you. Although it does not show me actually painting, it will give you some idea of how I develop a watercolor.
Watercolor Technique
My style of watercolor painting is different than the ‘norm’ and I credit this to my most favorite instructor, Kathy Sutherland. She is a genius, a wonderful mentor, and beloved friend who I was blessed to have studied under.
Gargoyle was created on 300# Arches watercolor paper, is 22″ x 30″and took approximately one month to complete. Although the original is in a private collection, limited edition giclees are available upon request.
Your use of color is beautiful. The way you built up the texture in layers is so interesting, it gives the image added depth. I enjoyed seeing the progression from background to completed painting. Your artwork is fantastic! Thanks for sharing this. Keep creating!
