Kris DeBruine Studio
Hi! My name is Kris. Welcome to my studio.
I am an artist focused on seeing and representing LIGHT and COLOR in impressionist watercolor paintings. I am inspired by the impressionist tradition and dedicated to translating these ideas into the medium of watercolor. I am excited to share my vision and techniques on this channel.
I am an educator by training and an artist by calling. I use this space to celebrate my love of watercolor and to share tutorials, techniques, tips, product reviews and inspiration. I paint both plein-air and in my studio. If you like what you see please consider subscribing to this channel.
I post new videos regularly and always respond to your questions and comments. If there is a topic or question you would like to see addressed in this channel please add it to the comments below.
In addition to what you will find here, I also offer free resources on my website at: studio.krisdebruine.com/free-resources
Thank you so much for visiting!

I've never used pastels before....this was my first attempt. It was fun to blend the colors on the paper.
What do you think?

What colors best represent the snow, limbs and shadows of a fir tree in the winter watercolor painting? That's what I was try to figure out in this study. Sap Green, Ultramarine, Burnt Umber, Quin Rose and some Lavender in the shadows.
What colors do you use?

Coming Soon - my latest watercolor tutorial showing how I painted this bird in it's nest. I use a bunch of colors in this one - to capture all those colors in the eggs. For the bird I used three blues -- Cobalt, French Ultramarine and Cerulean. I love blues and each one is so unique.
