Bird Dog

This is another picture being Displayed at the Bargain Hunter Outfitters a sporting good store in downtown Comstock Park. It is a 12" by 16"
painting in a standard 16" by 20" matte.

Because these watercolor paintings are on canvas they need a final spray fixative. They do not need to be put under glass when framed because of this technique. Hope you enjoy this picture as it was very fun to paint.

Watercolor Pencil on Canvas

Thank you very much for posting on the last two pictures. I was wondering if anyone even read this stuff. This is a picture of a man fishing. Fishing is my passion and I miss it a lot lately. It is a watercolor pencil on canvas and I used a dry and wet technique. This is were you draw the back ground and then use a spray bottle and brush to blend it. The technique makes for a little blurriness of the background and then I try to get more precise with the focal image. This is a 12" by 16" painting that will be displayed in Comstock Park at the Consignment Outlet on West River drive at the center of town. I have a few different pictures presented there and the owner is excited about my work. The them for the store is hunting, fishing, and wild animals. If you get a chance stop by and see them. It is a very interesting shop.

The pictures from Art Prize are now being displayed at the Forest Hills Fine Arts center for the next week or so. If you didn't catch them at the Art prize this my be your last chance to view them.

Sorry about not writing for a while. I got very sick and have been battling with health issues for over three week. I have been on antibiotics for about the last two and finally feel that I am getting better. I will try to be more consistent with my writing. I hope the two folks that did post comments are still in the audience.

Sincerely,
Elaine J. Hoogeboom
