Joe has placed my painting of a Dragonfly, as the Home Page photo. We may be changing it from time to time, even Monthly, depending on our Members. The painting was from one of Jan Morris's Monthly Watercolor Classes, conducted at the Hoodsport Hardware Distillery in Hoodsport, WA. This Monthly Session Topic was Insects, second week, Dragonflies. This painting was done on Arches 140 lb Cold Press 12 x 12 paper and is a Line and Wash painting. That is where you draw your image in Ink, then paint it using watercolor pigments. I used DANIEL SMITH Watercolors and some of them were their Duochrome and pearlescent paints, to give the wings and body a little shimmer. The background was the splatter method.

Thanks. We use archival and color fast inks for this purpose. They also make water soluble inks and watercolor pencils for shading and sketching.

How does a watercolor pencil work?

It's a pigment, set in pencil form and can be activated by touching the surface with a damp brush. Some use it to touch up in tight spots, others use it foe an entire painting. It can be used in Art Journals with paper 90 lb. and up, because of adding water.
