Mixed Media     Watercolor and Gouache   Photography

Mixed Media:

Recently, I have combined both of my favorite mediums, black and white photography and watercolor. I now create a mixed media painting which starts with a carefully planned and developed black and white photograph printed on 140 lb. watercolor paper. The image is then painted with transparent watercolors allowing the message in the image to be further emphasized through specific areas of color.

Photography:

My images are carefully planned and photographed with the highest quality lens and professional camera bodies. The development process is tailored to the message being conveyed. Prints are produced on highest quality paper whether they be color or black and white.

Watercolor and Gouache:

My watercolor images are carefully planned; drawn and painted usually on either 140 lbs. or 300 lbs. watercolor paper. I use a limited pallet of carefully selected artist or the highes quality pigments that have high permanence ratings.
