Watercolor is my passion. After teaching art in the public schools for 40 + years I now have time to create art for myself. I am a watercolorist who sometimes likes to work in mixed media as well. My journey in art began when I was a small child and continues to this day. Barbara Hart Sailor

The Old Man
I created this painting as the lesson for my next intermediate watercolor class at Riverside Art Center in Wapakoneta, Ohio. This is done mostly from my mind, and I used a limited palette of Dragon's Blood, Payne's Grey and green. The detailing was done by dipping the end of a kabob holder in the payne's grey into wet paint. The colors were added first wet-in-wet forming the face and then the detailing.
