Watercolor

Water and pigment, and the art of letting go.

The medium

Watercolor is the art of letting go. The pigment moves where the water wants, and the painter learns to follow instead of fight.

How we teach it

paper     cold-press, 140 lb or heavier
pigment   tube color, wet into wet
control   more water, less water, timing
mistakes  let them dry and work them in

When to choose it

For light, for air, for the moment between two clouds. Watercolor is the only medium that paints time itself.
