Q&A with Barbara Nechis December 6, 2007
I would like to report back on what Barbara Nechis had to say when I asked her the two questions sent in by readers. The first was to list her materials: Barbara uses #140 Arches watercolor paper, not stretched. She generally uses Winsor & Newton paints that have been refreshed the night before. She has a few Graham paints too. Her brushes of choice for almost everything are flats. She likes to use the biggest brush she can get into the area! She only uses rounds when doing lines or small details. Finally, Barbara does not post all her work or prices on her internet site because she does not want her site to become commercial. Because buyers contact her personally to ’see’ her complete availability, she has an opportunity to get to know them and what they are looking for when she sends them JPGs. I might add that Barbara is a very prolific painter “¦ keeping her gallery current could be a full time job! Barbara’s very recognizable style is achieved differently than any other artist we have filmed. Wet into wet painters will benefit greatly from her workshop! (Expect it next summer-2008).
