In Response To: watercolor vs. penciling - artist's shoptalk (Donald)

Good to hear from you. I had a great time in NY. I remember you.
Glad to hear that your doing your thing.

As far as time on watercolors, my advice would be not to overwork them too much. Sometimes it can be tempting to try to model or render too much with it, but Watercolor needs to have a certain spontanaity to retain the natural life and effect that it can have. Try doing a less is more approach with it.
