Our 10th Annual tour is only a couple of weekends away, May 6 & 7, and for the next couple of weeks we’ll be featuring the different media represented in our selection of artists. Today, we are featuring the watercolour artists on the tour.
Some of these artists use watercolour as their primary medium, while others do watercolours as a complement to their primary medium, so the art featured in this post may or may not be painted in watercolour. In either case, all have their own unique ways of expressing themselves through this very challenging medium which has a rich and varied history.
Starting with Location #15, we have
Kristi Osinga 
A complement of watercolour and natural colours including coffee and walnut ink on canvas and paper.
