So, my goals are watercolor and light source. I decided to take a break from acrylic paint and try watercolor again because I had fun last time. I decided to make this a process painting because I have to hang my mine and Caitlyn's show which has taken up a lot of class time to paint. So far, I've blocked out most of my piece very loosely. I'm trying to work really lightly because I know I can't erase or go lighter which is definitely the hardest part of watercolor in my opin

So far, I haven't made much progress due to my home project and college applications, but I've blocked in the big parts of the painting. I'm not sure how I want to do the

Born in 1958 in Boston, Massachusetts, he is most known for his dynamic urban landscapes that blend realism with expressive brushwork.

So far, I have created a good outline of my painting. My idea for the painting was to make a scene through a window so I could incorporate a building as well as create atmospheric perspective in the background. I decided to block in my building with some basic colors before I move on to the landscape because it requires more colors. For the landscape I want to have a central color incorporated into my colors so I can make a uniform palette with a base color. I think I will ad
