Stippling is a favorite technique of Evan Watkins. Stippling is a whole bunch of ink dots put so close together that when you look at the picture; it looks like it’s all blended together. Watkins’ inspiration consists of George Seurat who does pointillism, which is a form of stippling only paint is the media instead of ink, and his mother.

“She’s what keeps me going,” said Watkins.

Watkins uses many different medias, but his favorites are black and white charcoal, using a smugger, and stippling using black ink. And drawing in his room is where he’s most comfortable

“He is very perceptive and meticulous in his work. He’s not afraid to try new media and he not only works in traditional visual arts but electronic visual arts too,” said Mrs. Harris.

Watkins wants to go to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. He plans on utilizing his talents in art in computers and pursuing graphic arts.

He has some of his work being displayed at Washington Mutual in the Albertsons shopping center.
