Step 14 Finishing the reflective image helps anchor my whole still life, and gives the whole painting a finished look. Now to finish painting the flowers at the top of the painting.
Step 13
Painting the reflective image onto the table top, using muted colors and painting what I see is key in this step.
I am a watercolorist and author my work has been published in numerous books and magazines including American Artist Watercolor featured

In 1987 I attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco focusing my studies on illustration, during my
time at the Academy of Art I discovered watercolor and
fell in love with this medium and became a full time watercolorist and instructor. From 1991 to 2001 she opened an art school of her own, "Emerald Lake Art Academy", in
Redwood City, California. In 2002 I concentrated on developing a new technique in watercolor, painting from dark to light, and have found that my students thrived on this unique technique, and could see there paintings develop quicker.
