Every Piece starts with a few photos. Elements are altered to create the best composition. Small things can be changed such as the colour of a person's shirt or the placement of their hand. Big things can also be changed like placing two people together from different pictures or changing the season or the background. In every case the better the reference photos the better the results!

Places
$250 - 11 x 14
With my watercolour paintings, I like to leave the edge exposed and organic to showcase the unique characteristics of the medium. In many of these paintings, some elements have been moved or added to give a better feeling of the place. If you are supplying a picture for a house portrait please keep in mind the time of day (mid-day pictures on a sunny day are usually too bright. Overcast, morning or afternoon shots are usually better) The season is also a very relevant factor. The quality of the reference photo will have a huge impact on the final painting.
