Here is a painting I completed in my studio over the weekend. Included in this posting are some of the steps along the way. I have been asked to do a number of watercolour demos lately so I have looked at this scene from the point of view of starting and completing a finished work in about an hour.
More recently I have created a presentation in which I do a painting and relate the insights on what makes good watercolours to what it takes to successfully discuss, design and implement an effective team strategy.
I have included some of the steps in the process in this posting.
This painting was done on a 560×380 mm sheet of Arches 300gm Cold Pressed.
