Bev Doolittle is an American artist who paints scenes of the American West, featuring Native American life, wild animals, horses, and landscapes. She was born in 1947 and specializes in watercolors. Realistic Western art has traditionally been dominated by oil painting but Bev Doolittle changed all of that by bringing in watercolors and gaining respect for this technique from many collectors of Western Art.
Not only has she changed the type of paint being used, but she also has a very unique method that she uses with her paintings. She paints in a way called a camoufage technique which means that her paintings can be see in more than one way. Her most famous and impressive work in this respect is a twelve set collection of paintings of dark brown horses set against light brown rocks and white snow.
Bev Doolittle has also coauthored and illustrated several books about the plight of Native Americans, wild animals and environmental issues. Enjoy some of her paintings shown below.

The most unique water colors I have ever seen, beautiful doesn't begin to describe them.
I just loved your beautiful paintings they are so unique.
I have 2 of her pictures, they are really great, love this one with the wolf, it just jumped right out at me after a minute or so. love it.
I have two her books, this one with the wolf is beautiful, after a minute or so the wolf jumped right out of the picture, didn't look to see what else is there. Love her work
Bev, I have been admiring your art work for too many years to admit. I have used your Cards off and on for ages. Still love your work, I didn't realize you were still painting. Where are your new ones?
she always amazes me how she can paint a picture inside a picture by hiding it. beautiful - such detail for watercolor! :)
Does anyone know if the Native Americans depicted in works such as "Two Horses" are from a specific tribe/nation?
