Have you ever seen or used paint that was listed on the paint tube as “Hue”? For example Cobalt Blue Hue, rather than Cobalt Blue. Do you know what the word “Hue” means with regard to paint pigments? Years ago when I first saw this on a paint jar, I wasn’t sure what it meant. It was less expensive so I thought maybe the paint was not as high in quality as the regular paint. I was wrong, and maybe you have been too.

Here is my first ever watercolor abstract painting demonstration on video. I hope you’ll grab your watercolor painting gear and paint along with me. Although the video is a bit long, I know how you watercolor painters like to see how everything is done. Let me know if you’d like to see more of these demos.

For the there are 5 easy things to think about to help make your paintings better. It takes some analysis on your part to look at your work and determine what is good and what is lacking. Often it’s a matter of doing the opposite.

I’ve had lots of requests lately for some watercolor painting demonstrations, so here is the first. This one is really fast and really loose so get your painting gear together and paint with me. Pause the video as many times as you need to so you can follow along.

If you’re a watercolor painter, are you still matting and framing your watercolor paintings? Are you paying your framer more than your paintings are worth? Are you tired of looking through glass reflections to see your paintings? Are your paintings using presentation techniques that are so 20th century?

We are all given special gifts to share with the world. Artists are given a very special gift because they make things with their hands from nothing. Before there was nothing, and a few hours later, there is something. That’s very powerful, and takes lots of skill and experience. Artists love us enough to share their gifts with us. Made and given from the hands of one to be enjoyed by another.

began my painting life as a watercolor painter nearly 30 years ago. Most of my work today is acrylic on canvas, but I still paint with watercolor and enjoy doing so. Over many years of painting with watercolor, I have used all the major brands of professional grade watercolor paint, and without question the best I have used is QoR Watercolor (pronounced “Core”).

If you’re an artist of any kind, I’m sure you have read many books on how to sell what you make - I know I have. Three of the books I read stood out as the best of them all and I want to share those with you.
