Watercolor Painting


Photo provided by: Louisville Artisans Guild
If you’re into watercolor painting, boy do I have an artist for you - Tamara Scantland. She is a professional artist who is known for her emotional, balanced portrait paintings. Over thirty years ago, Tamara was introduced to watercolors in her first painting class; and ever since then, she has never looked back.

From the looks of her resume, Tamara is a very active artist within the following cities: Louisville, Cincinnati, and Indianapolis. Many people enjoy her paintings, because of how bright and colorful they are. She usually uses warm colors to create a friendly, welcoming tone. Tamara has also won multiple awards. I highly suggest visiting her gallery, if you’re in Louisville.

I find her work very soothing specifically because of her color choices. In the background of this photo, she uses complementary colors - red and green - and contrast to her advantage to let the subjects of her portrait standout. I love this, because she naturally draws your attention to the love this mother-like figure has for this young girl. All of her paintings tell a beautiful story.
