On the way back from our trip to Wyoming, Montana, and Washington, after so much time traveling and away from my studio, I was getting an intense urge to paint something… Anything. (It’s a common phenomena when you’re addicted to art as badly as I am….) So, on the road, I pulled out my paints and brushes and began working on a collection of pieces.
These are two of those paintings with plenty of finishing touches added in the studio. The miniatures are both 5×7 watercolors. They will debut at the Seaside Art Gallery in the Outer Banks of North Carolina just in time for the Holiday Season. ….and I am very pleased to post that the gallery will now be representing our work, with this being the first installment. (In years past, my family and I have been a part of their International Miniatures Show as well.) If you are in the area, be sure to stop in! :D
Rebecca, you’re work just goes from strength to strength. These are beautiful.
Oh! These are lovely! Love the colors and fur on the first one! :)
I am impressed!! – Your choice of colors is exceptional! One day – I hope to do as well. I have 2 limited edition wild life watercolors and love to look at other artists’ work for inspiration. Yours does a lot for me– like you I am addicted to the white page!!
Hi rebecca, I came across your site and I love your paintings. I never knew that watercolors are able to paint details like that. May I know what sort of board you use? Is it a special board with watercolor paper? I would like to try it….currently I'm using normal hot-pressed watercolor paper.
Hi Jade- Thanks, I'm glad you like my work. I use a hot press board most of the time. I have used hot press watercolor paper, as lightweight as 90lb, but it has the risk of buckling if the work is too large for the weight. A smooth illustration board is preferable. Best of luck with your progress!
Rebecca, you are a great painter, diligent in creating your works of art and perfect!
Thank you, Yayan
