Close-up watercolor painting of a blue eye by Wesley Ketcher

Watercolor layered to life

I paint figures pulled from cinema and pop culture, hyperrealist still lifes, and detailed wildlife, all in watercolor. The subjects vary. The obsession with detail doesn't.

Watercolor is usually associated with soft edges and gentle washes. I push it further, building up layers on 400lb Arches paper until a piece of fruit looks edible, a face has weight, or a crab's shell has texture you want to touch.

Originals are one of a kind. Prints are limited. Commissions are open. Bring me a subject worth painting.
