5" x 7" watercolor on paper in Moleskine sketch book.
A somewhat abstract paining of some bike racers. Man, I need to work on my portrait skills! Ha, ha.

Welcome to my little corner of the world. I will attempt to share my thoughts and passions about painting. I always welcome comments and hope you enjoy the view.
About Me
- David
- Hi. I was born, raised, and educated in Pennsylvania. Painting has become a real passion of mine, and I try to produce a new work at least once a day. All work is for sale, unless noted. Just let me know if you are interested. Rather than realistic copies of scenes, I prefer a more personal, abstract-type vision where the viewer gets to complete the picture in their own mind. Please return often and see if I am successful in my endeavor.

List of Recommended Books
Books, books, books. How I love good art books. They can be your best friend when the world delivers you its share of bad news.
From time to time, I will add books I have read and keep referring to over and over.

1. "Webb on Watercolor" by Frank Webb ISBN: 0-89134-346-6
2. "Oil Painting - Develop Your Natural Ability" by Charles Sovek ISBN: 0-89134-360-1
3."First Impressions" by Edward Norton Ward ISBN: 0-8230-1820-2
4. "Conversations In Paint" by Charles Dunn ISBN: 1-56305-664-X
5. "How To See Color and Paint It" by Arthur Stern ISBN: 0-8230-2468-7
6. "Painting with a Fresh Eye" by Alfred "Chip" Chadbourn ISBN: 0-8230-3888-2
7. "Landscape Painting Inside and Out" by Kevin D. Macpherson ISBN: 1-58180-755-4
8. "Interpreting the Landscape in Watercolor" by Don Andrews ISBN: 0-9655559-2-5
Another out of print gem. Printed in 1974, this is a wonderful teaching manual. I consider this and Frank Webb's book to be two "mother of all watercolor" volumes. Everything a budding watercolorist could want is provided here: laying washes, painting middle values, planning, spacial concepts, calligraphy, etc. If you go through this book and follow the step-by-step lessons Bob Wood produces, you will be well on your way to understanding the art of a great watercolor painting. This one is highly recommended and another must have for your art library!

Hi there,
You're doing a fine work on your blog with continuous posts.
There are also some great links.
Say, have you tried Arches paper ?
And don't forget that a good brush is essential for watercolour.
Happy New Year,
José
Hola Jose and Happy New Year!
Many thanks for the kind words. Yep, I use Arches a lot -- especially for my half sheet and full sheet work. I like the paper very much.
And, I recently invested in some nice Kolinsky round brushes. They are wonderful to use!!
Stop by again and thanks for looking!
David
