Balance 'Strategy and Spontaneity' with Watercolor Artist Lee Grest
"Watercolor asks much of the artist in its unpredictability. It's much like people in that way."
"Watercolor," says artist Lee Grest, "asks much of the artist in its unpredictability."
"One minute, it can feel elemental, approachable, easily manipulated, and then," she says, "it's complex, baffling, and operating purely on a will of its own. It's much like people in that way."
In this lesson (85 mins), Lee paints a loose watercolor portrait using just three colors - Burnt Sienna, French Ultramarine, Pyrrol Scarlet - seeking to strike a balance between strategy and spontaneity.
