I'm a self-taught watercolor portrait artist whose work lives in black and white—but speaks in raw emotion. I specialize in monochrome watercolor, every piece capturing a distinct moment, personality, or legacy with a balance of softness and intensity. From cultural icons like Snoop Dogg, Marilyn Monroe, and Jackie Robinson to custom commissions, I bring depth, texture, and story to every face.


I’ve loved art since childhood, but life took me in another direction when I joined the Marine Corps. After years of service and discipline, I’ve reconnected with my passion—this time through black and white watercolor.

Now, I’m on a mission to bring something different to the world of watercolor. My style isn’t traditional—it’s raw, bold, and modern.

KushedHues is my way of bringing a bold, modern edge to a timeless medium. Each piece captures raw emotion and iconic moments without the distraction of color—just ink, soul, and story.

Semper Fi. Forever expressive.
