My journey into painting began in the most unexpected way

My story is this. I’m often asked how I started painting. I wanted to discover if I had any artistic talent, so in 1990, at age 45, I enrolled in an adult evening art class at a local N.J. high school. I first chose to work with watercolor, thinking it would be the easiest medium. I mean, how hard can it be? Just mix some pigment with water, right? However, I soon discovered it was the most challenging medium.

Southwest vibrant and Dimensional Watercolors was the first medium I used, before oils and acrylics. Initially, my technique was to meticulously add bold black outlines and layer many colors. The result? Extraordinary and colorful watercolors radiating with vibrant energy, infusing each memorable piece with luminous allure.
