3/03/11 A Figure in Watercolor
My one-hour demonstration at the Honolulu Academy school at Linekona
This is from an impromptu watercolor demonstration at my Life Drawing class last Thursday. I did this to demonstrate the connection between the drawing approach I teach and painting. The painting is only an extension of the drawing into color and form, and not a separate thing.
I consider an hour to be a minimal amount of time to spend on anything in color, and fully anticipate anything resulting in that hour to be a sketch at best.
Incidentally, I don’t believe in pushing oneself to work quickly, as if speed was somehow a virtue. I know others may disagree with me, but I’ll post more on this later if you are interested.
