MEDIUM: Watercolor Art SPECIALTY: ✔ Technical
I paint a variety of subjects, but a theme of reflective, shiny objects runs throughout a lot of my watercolors. Reflective objects like water, glass, and metal hold a fascination for me and I am drawn to the unusual, abstract shapes that are often in realistic subjects. These abstract shapes are a nice counterpoint to a bird, band instrument, or waterlily.
I tend to paint a series of the same subject over time and I have now painted quite a few birds in water, waterfalls, and waterlilies.
I enjoy showing the beauty of nature in these brief moments in time.

Lorraine is so organized and has so many tools to share. Her demos are telling- very helpful!
“Mastrius has done wonders for my confidence. I have managed to step way outside of my comfort zone which has in turn given rise to so many more opportunities to further my art career.”
