Nighttime Lighthouse 1 Nighttime Lighthouse 2 Nighttime Lighthouse 4.5" x 6.5" An interesting foray into nighttime lighting effects using a nautical theme, the West Break Water Lighthouse in Cleveland, OH. Iris 1   |  Iris 2 Purple Iris Some rather gaudy Purple Irises serve as willing subjects for working wet-in-wet and glazing for bright, colorful, results. Pines 1   |  Pines 2 Line of Pines After underpainting in bright basic hues, I develop a field and the tree line in high silhouette. This was a fun experiment. Barn 1   |  Barn 2 White Barn Here is a large white barn on a hillside with out buildings. Some minor drylift changes were made to one section. Watch. House 1   |  House 2 Frostville House The Carpenter house was built circa 1830. This house is an example of the best of two-story frame houses of the Post-Colonial Period of the Western Reserve. Tree 1   |  Tree 2 Frisket Tree A weird composition, but a fun painting to build using liquid frisket technique. I used some interesting all over glazing techniques and a lot of detailed and textured brushwork. Don't know a word? Go to the Glossary!

Tower St. Martin, Soreze Allan Kirk's step-by-step exercise demonstrates how to select and arrange elements of your painting. Starting with loose underpainting, the shadows, depth and detail of an old medieval street emerge. Detail of "Blue Window" Blue Window Allan Kirk's impressionistic watercolour exercise shows how to capture light and present the beauty that can be found in the simplest of subjects. The composition is brought to life by the way transparent watercolour is used to reflect the strong light and dark tones found under the southern French sun. HOW'D THEY DO THAT?
