Watercolor Stretchers


Are You a Watercolor Painter?
If you paint withwatercolors, you've wrestled with ways of stretching paper so that it is smooth and tight and inviting to paint on. Using butcher tape can get very old, very fast. For many, many years, I have used the type of watercolor stretcher board that you see in this photo. I also make these to sell and you can find out more here.

Home Portraits....What's That?

There is a deep-rooted connection between people and their homes, especially if the home has been in the family for a long time. These very personal watercolors would make a terrific gift for a parent or a family member who remembers..."That's where we grew up!" I paint these watercolors from photos that you supply, or if you live in the Willamette Valley in Oregon, I can even come by and take the photos. Check out the details here.

People Pictures...Something New

I have always found it difficult to paint people. I recently discovered that if I chose just the right people pictures to paint from and manipulated the photo in Photoshop, I was able to create some people pictures that are different from my usual style. Check them out. These are family pictures, so the originals are not for sale, but prints are available. See these watercolor paintings here.
