Shop watercolorsOil painting, step by step
Cotton canvas is stretched, primed with gesso and sanded smooth.
The composition is drawn, then blocked in with a thin, warm underpainting.
Color goes on in layers, dark to light, over several sessions so each layer can set.
Palette knife and fine brushes add texture, highlights and the final details.
The painting dries for several days, then gets a protective varnish.
A second painter inspects it, we photograph it, and you approve it before it ships.
Watercolor, step by step
Heavy cotton paper is soaked and taped flat so it stays smooth.
Big, loose washes set the light and the mood of the whole piece.
Glazes are layered once each one is dry; highlights are lifted out by hand.
The painting is matted in acid-free board, photographed and sent to you to approve.
Quality
Every painting is inspected by a second painter under daylight lamps: color, edges, varnish, signature and hanging hardware. Then we photograph it and send the photo to you. Nothing ships until you’re happy.
Packing
Acid-free glassine paper protects the surface.
Foam corner guards and double-wall board on every side.
Every shipment is insured and tracked door to door.
