Hi everyone, I'm Mark Kirkpatrick and I provide content for KIRKART studio. The channel is dedicated to watercolor instruction and exploring all aspects of painting. I have been a life-long painter and printmaker. I enjoy painting with oils and acrylics as well, but watercolors seem to allow for more mobility and are ideal for expressing my particular vision.
Most of my work is inspired by places I have visited around the Northwest. I paint a lot of landscapes and city-scapes, but most of the scenes also include additional elements with a personal connection. I often will include people I know, or vehicles, buildings, or animals, in some combination. My paintings usually depict a composition with an unexpected point of view. They also generally feature a strong, directional light source and a strong palette.
I intend to take viewers step-by-step through the process of creating large, detailed watercolor paintings
