Artists Of Texas Contemporary Paintings and Art

"Ancient" by Carol Peterson 15" x 11" watermedia on gesso $300 This is the second painting I did while demonstrating for the opening of the West Texas Watercolor Society's Spring Show.  I used watersoluble pens, some india ink, and watercolor on an old painting that had gesso and watercolor applied to it.  The image was taken from a photo of a model that I encountered at my life drawing group.  He was a former professor with a fascinating face. www.carolpetersonart.com

"Intense" by Carol Peterson 12" x 9" watermedia $200 This was a demo I did at the West Texas Watercolor Show opening during the First Friday Art Tour May 4th.  This man was a model at a couple sessions of the my life drawing group.  He has a natural intensity to him that radiates from his expressions.  I found his image fascinating.  The paper is some that I stamped, splattered, and finally laid in a tub that was catching poured watercolor. www.carolpetersonart.com

Abo by Carol Peterson 10" x 8" watersoluble pen on wrinkled tyvek paper SOLD After visiting Australia, I became obsessed with the aborigine face.  They don't fit all the rules that have been developed for drawing the standard western face.  Their eyes are wider set, the nose is shorter, the eyebrows are heavier and the face is wider.  It took me quite a while to feel like I could capture their look. www.carolpetersonart.com
