I’m feeling inspired by the amazing work over at the Ohio Watercolor Society! For those of us in the Mansfield area, remember how great their annual shows at the Art Center were? It would be wonderful to see that tradition start up again. In the meantime, definitely check out their page for your daily dose of local talent!"

❄Winter Blues?❄ Let the art of Kevin Buckland take you somewhere warm!
Kevin is an Ohio Watercolor Society Signature member of Lewis Center, OH and was in WatercolorOhio 2025 with:

Yesterday’s watercolor practice! This is a small painting, if I painted on larger paper, I’ll definitely have to keep a close eye on that perspective!

Today’s watercolor practice! I won’t dwell on the imperfections. Instead, let’s appreciate those adorable horse butts.

I am slowly building up materials so if you forget something you can use my stock or even purchase it from me. I have pencils, erasers and white ceramic palettes. For best results, you need at least a full dinner size plate. 🙂
