Artwork By Kathy Braud

Here is an example of a fine art watercolor where Kathy Braud has added a creative twist to the background. This stand of tulips, rooted in the soil, was also developed with a quilted background, light against dark in patches, to emphasize interesting places to enjoy visually.

Our children live in Duluth area, so we have the opportunity to visit Lake Superior on the Great Lakes in all kinds of weather. I am interested in using my wind surfing references someday to make a new painting of this area ...... burrrr! Stay posted!

I can see why the Four Clucks won the award, it is a stunning painting Kathy. Also the September Storm painting has great movement and bravura. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your works.

I agree with Sally, the Four Clucks are among my personal favorite!!

I added my promotional sale info - good for this weekend! It wasn't as hard to complete as I dreaded.

Thanks girls for commenting on my artworks above! Sometimes we get so wrapped up in them that they seem to have a life of their own.....
I think the reference material really has to grab you and make you want to work with it on composition, color, value and activity.
If not, it is easy to just reproduce the reference. Ho Hum.
But that is not the point! To make it our own, we need to push, shove and go out on a limb.
Getting the Four Clucks dark enough to be the values I wanted took a time period of being fearless! and pools of dark mixture pigment washes to zazzel my brush in.
Thanks a bunch! Kathy

Lovely watercolor paintings. The vibrant colors are fabulous.

Kathy, congratulations for the Price and your work !!
I will visit your site, see you later - Dagmar

Kathy, your still-life is one of my favourites in your Gallery, therefore I want to Show it here, intriguing work with powerful Colors.

I love making a path of light in my paintings. It is especially fun to do with landscapes.
Exciting reflections dance across the water, moving lovely colors here and there in reflections, and create large expanses of deep dark colors on this luscious paper. Here, some canoeists are enjoying a Minnesota day at its very best.

This painting was featured in May 2015.
Thanks for the support! and welcoming words.
