How To Find Dependable Water Color Artists

By Marissa Velazquez


Many of the times, it is possible to come across an incredible piece of painting made by a watercolor artist and wonder how you can find him. Locating water color artists is not easy and depends on whether they signed their name on the work they did or not. Even if the work is signed, it does not guarantee that you will be able to fetch enough information regarding the people behind it. Finding a dependable artist mostly depends on your patience.

The first important thing towards finding a good artist is to look for signatures. In case you will not find any on the front, look at the bottom corner, either on the right or left. You may have a problem though if the painting is attached to some form of substrate. You will have to take a risk on if to damage the watercolor paper or not in order to look for the signature. For any questions, you should consult an arts professional or appraiser who can assist with assessment of the work.

Another individual you should seek in this task is a restorer. He can help you with the safe removal of the substrate. Once you know the source, you can also know the person responsible for a certain painting. If you are aware of the gallery that a certain work came from, the people in that gallery can recognize the work and direct you to the artist who did it. If after all these you find out that you still do not know the artist responsible for a certain collection, seek the services of an arts professional who works in a nearby local museum or arts organization.

He should be able to approximate the date that the work was done or the person behind it. Most paintings have a style that defines them in terms of place or date. If the person behind the work is highly reputable, an arts professional should find it easy to recognize him. If it is still hard to determine the person behind a fine piece of work, try doing things through the internet. Search for images online to see if something similar comes up.

You can also use the internet for direct searches. If you have a reliable search engine it should be able to give you various sources that list some reputable watercolor artists. Some sites even have profiles of artists plus all the accolades they have gathered down the years.

However, trying to match a paint with those that can be found online can be a long and tiring process that does not guarantee success. This is because there are many works by great artists that are still unnoticed. You can also decide to ask your friends for assistance especially those that know something about painting.

Maybe they know about some fine artists or they can help you find the person behind a piece of art that you have come across. However, you should not put your whole trust on friends. This is because they can be misleading at times.

Friends tend to favor each other in businesses. In this scenario for example, they can direct you to a certain person because they know him from a personal level ignoring the fact that you are in need of a professional. It will not be hard to locate some fine water color artists if you follow these steps.
