Captured in the vibrant strokes characteristic of Expressionism, this evocative print presents Balmedie Beach as evening whispers across the sky. The canvas comes alive with bold, sweeping brushstrokes that create a sense of movement and drama, reflecting the beach's serene yet dynamic essence at dusk. The artwork is awash with a rich palette of colours—fiery hues of orange and pink merge with the deep blues and purples of the twilight sky, casting a warm glow that is reflected on the wet sands below. The setting sun, a brilliant circle of white, hovers just above the horizon, its gleaming reflection stretching across the shoreline in a path of shimmering light. Two silhouetted figures wander towards the distant water's edge, adding a touch of human narrative to the natural splendour. Their presence is small yet poignant against the grandeur of the sweeping landscape. Around them, the ebb and flow of the tide reveals patterns in the sand, rendered in abstract shapes and contours that mirror the broken sky above. This piece is not just a print; it is a token of the wild, untamed beauty of Scotland's coastline. Its expressive quality invites viewers to not only see but feel the bracing air and hear the soft murmurs of the sea—making it a perfect treasure for collectors and seaside enthusiasts alike.

Techniques and Tips for Watercolors When it comes to watercolor painting, these are the tricks that draw the ooh's and aah's every time. Watercolor as a medium seems like such a challenge because it seems unpredictable at first glance. It's so important to learn what to expect from the pigment when it meets water. When learning watercolor basics, these will help form a better foundation in painting with more enjoyment. The frustration is lessened because you have a better idea of how the pigment is going to respond to what you do. There are many helpful videos on YouTube that are great resources shared by other artists. Do a quick search on YouTube and you'll have a great time watching artists demonstrate these techniques. When teaching these techniques in a workshop, I bring out these posters and copies of the instructions as handouts for students. I'm sharing those handouts with all of you, here and now! This post has been a long time in the planning stages and I'm so thrilled to have it finally ready to share with other watercolor enthusiasts. So, I have a bit of confessing to do first. Have you seen my pins on Pinterest for these techniques? Years ago, when I was new to Pinterest, I created pins for the images of these posters. At the time, I didn't realize how popular these posters would become with time. Now, these pins are my most commonly saved pins! Unfortunately, they lack any explanation. The pins lead nowhere but to the images. Lesson learned, believe me! I can't tell you how much I regret that mistake! It's taken me a while but now I'm glad to share the posters and the tips that help explain each one. If there's a technique you'd like me to elaborate on more, please let me know in the comments. I'd be more than happy to help you with that! When it comes to watercolor painting, these are the tricks that draw the ooh's and aah's every time.

Request permission to reproduce. Tips & Explanations for Watercolor Techniques I know the text on the tips sheets may be hard to read so here's a link to the printable PDF file: Watercolor Techniques Page 1 and 2 I hope you are able to try these techniques on your own! These make up a watercolor artist's tool box for creating unusual effects. There are several I use often. There are 4 or 5 I rarely use but at times, these techniques are useful. It all depends on the style and subject matter. It's a good idea to become familiar with them, try them out with a bit of practice before applying them to an artwork you are working on. Leave me a note in the comments! Let me know if you've got questions and I'd be very happy to explain any of these further. Thank you for stopping by and sharing a few minutes here today!
