The most vivid watercolor portrait master

self-portrait

The characters in his works are vivid, bold in color, appropriate in light and shadow, and most natural in expression, which is absolutely impressive. This is Ted nuttall.

Ted, who graduated from Colorado Art Institute, is a realistic artist, and his painting performance comes from his observation of people. Ted is a signing member of American Watercolor Association, National Watercolor Association, Watercolor Association of Western Watercolor Federation and American Transparent Watercolor Association.

Ted's paintings have won prizes in exhibitions all over the country. His works have appeared in many national and international art publications. Recently, he was selected as a "watercolor master" in Russian publication 20 14, and as a characteristic artist in French publication "pratique des arts" 2065438+03. Ted is a featured cover artist of Watercolor Painter magazine in February 20 14. Ted's works have been published in the Northern Lights books "Splash 8" and "Splash 10", among which "Whispering Smith" appeared on the cover of Splash 12.

He said:

As long as I can remember, I have been an audience fascinated by human behavior-a typical human observer. I was born to find the unique qualities in everyone I meet. Usually when I observe in his (her) daily environment, I capture the moment when a gesture or expression is combined with light and shadow, and it feels like winning a prize. A thoughtful smile, holding a book in both hands, or carefully tying your shoelaces, and the shadow cast by a pair of metal thin-rimmed glasses, the story emerges at a critical moment.

My painting is an attempt to record these moments printed in my mind and the details of the story.

To quote Matisse:

"I didn't simply draw the table, but the feelings it conveyed to me."

After the introduction, let's continue to look at the paintings.

His method is not using blank liquid, sand, scraping and other means, but simple and direct, drawing from beginning to end with a pen. It seems that the quality of this pen is not generally good!

Her eyes are like windows.

Relax in the room.

In her ideal world.

Ted's pencil manuscript usually takes 4-6 hours, and it is very careful, and the blur and highlights are also marked. Brush the back in one breath.
