Al Steinbach

Watercolorist working in wet into wet, wet into dry, drybrush techniques. Subjects include still life, animal & landscape. I am fascinated by other artist’s tools such as brushes, paint tubes, pastels, etc., and enjoy painting same. I mostly attempt to capture color, light and contrast of a subject.
