Belsnickle #2 ~ Andy Smith, watercolors

4"x6"Miniature Original Watercolor
$225.00 ~ Contact the studio


I wanted to try a close up of this pottery
belsnickle. It is a matter of scaling it
up and there is more detail in the closeup
view. I also like the way the folds in the
curtain turned out.
The rule in watercolor is no white paint!
All the white is the paper.

I had a question about my paper...
Each watercolor is painted on Arches
300lb Cold Press paper. It is the only paper
I use. I use transparent watercolors
currently using Davinci. I occasionally
add ink to the wash. I paint in a series of
washes to build color, creating shadows
and a strong use of light.
Feel free to ask me anything! I enjoy questions.

Belsnickle ~ Andy Smith, watercolors

5"x5" Miniature Original Watercolor
$250.00 ~ SOLD

I needed a break from snow scenes!
Especially since I had to shovel the dusting
we received over night. I am intrigued
with this belsnickle and electric candle
in the window with a curtain behind it.
