Watercolor on paper, 2000
Wendy Artin
I first discovered watercolorist Wendy Artin in Vanity Fair magazine. She was surrounded by four larger-than-life charcoal drawings of Renaissance statuary, wearing solid black and a dramatic pendant necklace, looking very much the Artist. So I was surprised to discover that she also paints subjects as humble as vegetables and old toys. She is an absolute master of color and tone in her washes, and her work is well worth a look by any watercolorist.
