Watercolor artist E. Craig Marcin began his artistic journey by carving images on wood panels, then staining or painting them with acrylics and watercolors. “I soon realized that the character and properties of the wood were limiting what I could do to with the images I was creating. I knew that I could do so much more in a different medium – so I started this new journey learning from artist, and classmates and viewing with a better educated eye, the work of my ‘influences’”. “I don't set out to produce art about one subject or another although my tendencies are towards landscapes and objects within them. As an artist I find myself constantly aware of my surroundings. The process of painting is like taking deep cleansing, breaths … a calming part of my life. The technical aspects of mixing colors and utilization of different brush and paper types allows me choices for each piece of art I create.”
