Richard Jesse Watson
In Richard's own words, "I get lost in patterns and textures in art and nature". Using this as his guide his artwork incorporates a variety of color along with a realistic style that incorporates feelings and mood in his compositions. This artistic focus can be seen in the many illustrations he has created in children's books since 1984.
Being a versatile artist Richard Jesse Watson is not afraid to explore different techniques that can enhance his color pallet and creative energy. Experimenting and learning something new has inspired him to incorporate new digital and non digital methods. The results of these explorations in art and the use of vibrant color and details of imagery are seen in the samples below.
