Artist Carl Purcell demonstrates for the Southern Utah Watercolor Society
The Southern Utah Watercolor Society sponsored a watercolor painting workshop with Carl Purcell this past week. What an outstanding teacher and artist! I own two of Carl’s original paintings and was able to trade him for a third painting while he was here. One of the originals that I own appears in his new book by Northlight press, “Painting with Your Artist’s Brain.” The same painting also appeared in an article by Carl in the September issue of “Artists Magazine.” I also picked up a couple of nice original drawings that appear in in his Northlight book, “Drawing with your Artist’s Brain.”
“Northern Exposure” painted by Carl Purcell and owned by Roland Lee, appears in the new book as one of the demonstration pieces.

Carl Purcell actually taught the first watercolor workshop I ever attended back in 1978 and was very influential in launching my watercolor painting career. It was fun to have him come down to southern Utah and Teach our watercolor group. Thanks to Dick Rose the SUWS president for all his hard work to line up these great workshops.
