Robin Poteet

     Watercolorist Robin Poteet was a freelance advertising designer for the home furnishing industry before turning her focus to full-time painting and art instruction. She teaches watercolor classes in Roanoke, as well as workshops and annual trips abroad. Poteet was one of the ten artists chosen as "Ones to Watch" by WATERCOLOR ARTIST in their December 2010 issue. 


"I can open any page from my travel books and instantly recall the mood, temperature and flavor of the scene --- something I'm just not able to do with photos."

     In my opinion , Poteet's sketchbooks are very nice and interesting to look at as they are all colorful and they show the mood in the places. It definitely took a lot of time and efforts to train herself to have such amazing watercolor techniques. But as she said, she thinks of sketching as an "anything goes" process. It's sometimes her way if expressing a thought in a visual way. There is no finished product to fret over, and that provides her a lot of freedom in her sketchbooks.

According to the interview, Ozabu's inspirations often come from her feelings and experiences, and she experienced death of someone important in her life. Therefore, her drawings included some funeral elements as they are gre...
