The Great Wave of Homework by K. Ryan Henisey in Los Angeles, California. As a riff on Hokusai’s The Great Wave Henisey shows how much homework he gives his students. He is a first grade teacher and, dare I say it, a heckuva artist. Love this. I love that The Watercolor Gallery is now part […]
Great Blue Heron by Leslie Redhead in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Leslie recently held two workshops (one on Quadra Island – lucky lady) and for one of those workshops she did this Great Blue Heron. She uses a combination of techniques on this piece including gravity pouring. Also, I’m pretty much addicted to watch Cornell Labs’ […]

Gamin au chien (The dog kid) by Yann Lesacher in Lamballe, France. Lesacher literally has hundreds of paintings that I could have featured. His nature paintings are extremely well detailed and are interesting studies. I chose this one because of the way he used wet technique on the background. Very well done.
