Stewart White is an amazing watercolor artist. I love watercolors. I always have. You don’t see them as often as oils, probably because of the time spent framing (cutting a mat, cutting glass, etc.) – Stewart’s watercolor paintings are mesmerizing. Do you know how long I could look at this painting and the number of stories I could come up with? Look at how many activities are going on. The people are fabulous, the landscape and sky is amazing. There is LIFE to this painting. It’s got so much life to it that it’s hard to look away.
Brilliant… To me, this is stunning!

BIO
Stewart White is a watercolorist from Baltimore, Maryland. He is one of the rare plein air painters using the medium of watercolor. His background in architectural illustration adds to his skill set and his paintings reflect his knowledge of good design. Stewart’s paintings have the pleasing combination of good structure with a painterly style. He is a transparent watercolorist in the purest tradition of watercolor painters. Where as watercolor expresses its nature as fluid oil paint is stiff and seems to want to be expressed in a thick and buttery way.
He studied at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and after serving 3 years in the US Army he returned to graduate from UC Berkeley with a BFA. He works as an architectural illustrator and designer. His watercolors both in his architecture illustrations and in painting competitions have won him many awards.
