I am an academic (Norse mythology, Scandinavian Studies), poet, illustrator, and watercolorist specializing in loose, impressionistic landscapes. Willing to consider commissions if you want to contact me directly. You can find many pieces in my sketchbooks on Instagram--if you are interested in buying any of those, contact me and I will see whether it is feasible to cut them out! I'm posting process videos on YouTube on my channel CallePaints, along with some commentary re: the folkloric associations I find in some of my work. Some of the paintings for sale here feature in those videos!
My main materials:
Arches paper, Canson Heritage paper, Shizen paper, Daler&Rowney paper, and others
Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors, M Graham Watercolors, DaVinci Watercolors, Holbein Watercolors, Utrecht Watercolors (listed in order of degree of use)
Princeton brushes (Princeton Kolinsky; Princeton Elite--synthetic Kolinsky; Princeton Neptune--synthetic squirrel) as well as Winsor&Newton professional Kolinsky (not series 7--can't afford that!), DaVinci Casaneo, Escoda Versatil, and many others.
Currently original paintings up to size 12x16 inches are priced according to linear inch, with some variations for materials, and larger sizes (eg, 15x22, 22x30) according to square inch. Again, prices will tend to vary slightly but follow this general rule, and prices for larger paintings will rise more steeply. Extra large commissions usually have additional costs added, as the time and materials involved increase significantly.
You can find me and my various interests in these corners of the web:
