Original Watercolor Painting – “Vintage”, 7.5″ x 9.5″ Matted and Framed in White, 2022

This original watercolor painting is 7.5″ x 9.5″ and is double matted and beautifully framed in white.

All of my original paintings include a certificate of authenticity with the painting.

My Process:
When I paint in watercolor, I like to start out with an outdoor session to capture a scene, pulling in the design and composition of my subject, and getting a color study where I capture the colors and how the light and shadow play with one another. In some cases, such as with this painting, I use old family photos, other reference photos, and memories. I start with a light sketch to capture the composition, then lay in lights to begin the process of homing in on color, light, and shadow. In this painting, I wanted to give the feel of the muted colors from the overcast and foggy morning and pay tribute to the history of the working waterfront, and those who worked there.

Thank you so much for your interest. If you have any questions p-lease feel free to contact me and I will be happy to assist you!
