Carol Weiss - Original Watercolors
I will soon post samples of original water color miniatures. Each is unique and hand painted, some are realistic, others more abstract. They are all painted on 140 lb. watercolor acid-free paper and will be lightly glued with rubber cement unto folding 4"6" cards. They will be individually signed by me and may be used as one-of-a kind art cards or easily unmounted for framing. Price for each original with envelope is $25 including shipping in the U.S. I will only post samples. These will not be the one(s) you receive, since each will be totally unique and individually hand-painted.

Lost in Thought
Palmy
Glad you caught my new home page. My name is Carol Weiss and I do watercolors. I've been at it for a very long time and my paintings have found their way into private and public exhibits here and abroad. I'm a signature member of the American Watercolor Society (AWS) and the National Watercolor Society (NWS); attaining signature membership status is a highly competitive process and signifies that the artist has been granted the honor of using the initials of the endorsing society after their signature. I paint primarily for fellow painters; i.e., I enter juried competitions to be able to display my paintings at shows at the regional, national and international level (see my resume for a sample listing); most of my paintings are for sale and I am always honored to win some prize money and/ or awards along the way. I have recently been honored as one of the few American artists to be chosen for the 2014 Shenzhwan International Exhibition in China. Although many artists know me by name or person, I hope that this website will allow greater exposure for me and my work to the public.
I am putting samples of my work on this website; my paintings are fairly traditional and highly transparent, usually representative in appearance with an occasional abstract. At the present they sell for $400 - $2,500 depending upon size and complexity.
Painting sizes are based on full sheets of watercolor paper. With a matte border ranging from 2.5" x 4" the approximate dimensions are:
Full sheet: 28" x32" to 30"x38" (with matte and backing)
Half Sheet: up to 22"x26" (with matte and backing)
Quarter Sheets: about 15#x18" (with matte and backing)
I use only the highest quality professional watercolors and acid free paper.
I also have a limited number of original prints of some of my original watercolors for at a considerably less cost than the originals. I have taught both privately and in group settings and am available for teaching workshops on watercolor techniques at all levels, as well as on specific subjects such as managing color and light, composition, the key to transparency, the transparent portrait, etc. I am also available as a juror for art shows and exhibits. Please contact me, if my background and/or art may be of interest to you. (see below)

Below are some of my original watercolors. Most have been selected for inclusion in national or international shows) and wherever feasible I have indicated the approximate size as well as some personal comments.. Prices are as indicated. The paintings are shipped in mounted form with matting and backing. The cost of shipping is not included in the price; however, the price of the shipping is kept to a minimum since I ship the paintings without frame and glass.
Quality watercolors are traditionally displayed in a frame of wood or metal with glass or acrylic. This would need to be done at the customer's discretion through a local gallery or framer.

At a Loss
AS well as original watercolors in various sizes (primarily large) I also do greeting cards. These fall into two categories. The first are reproductions of some my original work and design; the second type are truly original (not reproductions) but cards in miniature form about #4 x 6". The latter are all originals and no two are alike. A few samples are shown below.
Artist Statement
My paintings represent transparent watercolor from a traditional or semi-abstract point of view. Most of my paintings begin with a shadow pattern that catches my eye. In rendering the painting, I would rather understate than overstate to emphasize pattern design and color over texture and detail. For me the most important aspect of painting are the shapes and contrasts. The vibrancy of colors further define the work. When the painting lends itself, I try to maximize the contrast range from white to almost black. I want the painting to come to life through the use of light and subtle color vibration. This is, of course, always a challenge.
I’ve always looked upon painting, particularly in the difficult medium of watercolor, as a universal language. Subject and styles may vary greatly, but we are all limited to two dimensions using paper, brushes and pigment to achieve that third dimension. Paintings may not always have a formal message, but should trigger a spark of emotional involvement in the viewer. Without that, art has little to say.
