New Short Video! I only used two watercolors, Lunar Black and Quinacridone Burnt Orange for this one. It was a fun challenge. 😍

Today I tore apart my studio. Going to spend the weekend making it more organized and accessible. All I managed to do today was make a mess and hang the shelves. Haha! 🤣
There won’t be a new video until next Thursday which will be my new posting day.
I’m shifting to one video/week with more shorts to keep you updated.
This is the start of busy season for my photography business and I won’t have time for two videos a week but I will still be around.
Thanks to all of you for making this community amazing! ❤️❤️❤️

Are you tired of your paintings feeling a bit disconnected? 🎨
I used to spend hours guessing which colors worked together until I discovered the power of a 'Mother Color.' It’s a total game-changer for creating art that feels calm and cohesive. My new video just went live showing you exactly how I use Daniel Smith’s Undersea Green to build a professional-grade palette from scratch.
Come watch and let's simplify your mixing process today!

Don’t use your watercolor sticks until you see this. ✋🎨
Most people treat Daniel Smith sticks like portable pans, but they’re actually a secret weapon for bold, expressive mark-making. I’m sharing a 20-minute real-time session today showing you exactly how I layer them for maximum texture.
If your landscapes feel a bit "flat," this one is for you.

I tried something "wrong" in the studio today... 🎨
I’ve always been told to use a palette with my tube watercolors, but today I decided to use my Schmincke Granulating tubes like markers instead. The texture is absolutely wild!
I just posted a real-time process video showing exactly how I layered these with Inktense and oil pastels to create a gritty, abstract landscape.
Check it out! Stop Using a Palette! (Try This Schmincke Hack Instead)
