ABOUT THE ARTIST

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Steve Rothert

Watercolor Portrait Artist

Steve, a resident of Bend, Oregon, has had a passion for painting in watercolor for over 40 years. Since his retirement in 2005, Steve has been able to devote more time to the development of his craft. Steve now exclusively paints watercolor portrait and figure paintings.

Steve developed his watercolor painting skills through classes, workshops and independent study. Several national artists and workshop instructors were instrumental in his artistic growth including David McKay, Joan Dougherty, Don Andrews, Mel Stabin and Ted Nuttall. Ted Nuttall, in particular, has been a great resource and inspiration for Steve’s watercolor portrait painting.

Steve is a Signature Member of The Watercolor Society of Oregon, The New Mexico Watercolor Society and The Northwest Watercolor Society. His work has been juried into the following exhibitions:
