Painting a specific city, in this case Charleston, on a grid was a challenging experience. What do you need to give the feeling of this wonderful city? What do you need to change in order for the overall design to work? This was a fun painting, but in some ways agonizing. Enjoy.
I am the author of Master Disaster, 5 Ways to Rescue Desperate Watercolors. Based on a course that I have developed over many years, the bones of this book give you a plan to finish your paintings--and even your bombs. The meat of my book and course, though, is to help you structure your life to encourage and accommodate painting. Painters have to paint. This is how to do it.
