found this site.

Great and fun watercolor demo by Umberto Rossini. I can never make watercolor work while he just throws paint around and gets beautiful paintings!

FINE ART AMERICA

Wow...
One of my older painting was sold last week.

STEVE HANKS

One of my favorite artist lost his battle with cancer this past April. His work inspired me and made me tremendously jealous at the same time.

FRANK WEBB

"With large flat brushes and plenty of water I approach the paper in slam-bang initial washes, and end with the caress of a butterfly wing. Fused into the paint is my delight as qualities and relations emerge from the process. Thus, a new reality is re-created which began with observation but goes beyond what is to what ought to be." - Frank Webb

ARTISTS NETWORK

NICHOLAS SIMMONS

A friend told me about an artist named Nicholas Simmons who does fantastic water medium paintings. He is called "The Bad Boy of Watercolor" and when you see his unconventional and innovative art you can understand why.

CHRIS FORSEY
