Watercolors is a 2008 American film directed by David Oliveras and starring Tye Olson, Kyle Clare, Greg Louganis and Karen Black.

Shy, closeted and nerdy young artist Danny (Tye Olson) is befriended by golden boy swimming champion Carter (Kyle Clare) when family circumstances bring them together for a night.

Danny helps the troubled Carter in school, while the brash and sexy yet troubled Carter works hard to hide his drug problems, history of seizures and the painful relationship he has with his unsympathetic, recovering alcoholic father.

Their blossoming relationship brings Danny out of his shell, awakening both his passion for art and burgeoning gay sexuality.

Audience Award - "Outstanding First Dramatic Feature" for "Watercolors" Jury Award - "Best Actor" for Tye Olson New York Times critic Neil Genzlinger reviewed the movie was being "modest" and deals "unblinkingly with gay bashing among high school students..."[3]
