Heads of Ayr by Char Fitzpatrick | Scottish Landscape
11"x13"
Watercolor and gouache highlights
I enjoy painting on location when I travel. Watercolors are very portable and lend themselves to quick weather changes. I enjoy the challenge of trying to capture fleeting moments. In this painting I enhanced the clouds and choppy waves with gouache.

Winter Church Santa Fe by Char Fitzpatrick | Watercolor Landscape
Watercolor and gouache
8"x11"
8"x11"

I
enjoy the effect of using gouache on watercolors to "bring back" the
whites. It is an opaque, water-based medium and gives a solid feeling to
the painting.

Santa Fe Church in Snow by Char Fitzpatrick | Watercolor Landscape
8x11
Watercolor
Watercolor is a beautiful medium for capturing light. The other thing it can do is "save" light, as in this case, where I left the white of the paper to act like snow.

Mt. Hood by Char Fitzpatrick | Watercolor Landscape
11x15
Watercolor and pastel
I sometimes mix mediums. Watercolor and pastels seem to get along very well. I let the subject matter tell me how much to use one thing or another. Pastels can give a real punch to a soft watercolor.

The Pond by Char Fitzpatrick | Watercolor Landscape
10" x 8"
Watercolor and gouache
This is another piece from the series I created for my niece’s wedding. She was married in a lovely place called Bridal Veil in the Columbia River Gorge. I could not pass up the mesmerising serenity of this pond at her wedding site.

Clouds Over Ireland by Char Fitzpatrick | Watercolor Landscape
11" x 13"
Watercolor
The clouds in Ireland are stunning. They billow by casting hurried shadows over the land. While I sat on a stone to paint this, a flock of sheep pell-melled down either side of me, the sheepdog fast in chase. When I turned around to look, the farmer sat quietly upon his horse on the road above me.

Barges on the Rhein by Char Fitzpatrick | Oil Painting | Germany Landscape
11" x 13"
Oil on board
At one time I lived close to the Rhein river in Germany. It is a fascinating, bustling river, with loads of water traffic from other countries passing through. One year it flooded dramatically, and though I worked from a photograph I took, I attempted to paint it in a loose manner in the studio, as if I were sitting on the bank capturing the mood live.

Storm Over Ayershire by Char Fitzpatrick | Scotland Landscape | Seascape
11"x 13"
watercolor, gouache highlights
The weather changed very quickly while I did the first watercolor of this scene. I was frozen to the bone, but determined to capture the brooding mood as the clouds swept over like black locomotives in this, the second painting.

Waldport Bay by Char Fitzpatrick | Oregon Coast Landscape
11" x 13"

This is one of my favorite places on earth. I have spent many happy times here. Dusk is a marvelous vision on the ocean, the colors are intriguing and very difficult to capture.
