Give them things to make colorful art with. Sit quietly and absorb the energy. Just for one day I would love to be a fly on the wall in each of your studios. I'd be uber quiet, promise.

Mine is similar, although I've switched this year from transferring (via light table) to scanning and printing on watercolor paper. SO much quicker! And I can't tell you how many pieces the husband and kids have modeled for. :-) It's good to have handy models. Yes, it is always fun to see other artists’ working methods.

I know nothing about creating something like this, so I feel like I've got an "insider's look." It's wonderful! And I LOVE that your hubby gets to model for you! :-) Please keep posting about this. I don't want to miss a thing! xo Lisa, it’s fascinating to me to read about your process as an artist.

Yes, most artists can relate to that "ahh" moment. It supplies momentary euphoria. Julie, the salt effect seems to work best with windsor colors (windsor blue, green etc.). And it seems to depend on the paper's sizing (texture, processing). I use hot press so that I can paint detailed. I never know what the salt will do, but that's part of the beauty. I also do selective razor-blading---for a white spot here and there. Though I try to be as purest as possible and plan for white/light areas before I even start painting.

I love hearing how other people work. I've never been able to make watercolor behave, and I'm envious of how quickly you can finsih a piece. Thanks for this peek into your process.

And actually you aren't a million miles away from how I work either! :) With regards to working on a sketch & if it doesn't flow, putting it away for a while until the muse strikes...I just can't force a piece through or I end up hating it! I too love the salt effect but it's a bit hit & miss for me. Maybe it's the paper. What paper do you use btw? I prefer rough papers to hot press, but I could do with experimenting with different makes. I currently use Bockingford. xxx This is a wonderful post Lisa, I love to see how other artists work.

I really like this image, and not just because I modeled for it. :) Great to see your process here Lis.
