Checkmate - Day 10
14" x 11" Watercolor on Paper This is a transparent watercolor that I will be teaching step by step to my Wednesday morning class at the Beach Art Center. I still love doing watercolor because they always create a challenge. The big difference between watercolor and oils is you have to have a "concept". This was the topic of discussion in Wednesday afternoon oil painting class with Judy & Larry Pumfrey. Larry ask the question what is concept? Basically it the plan, what's going on in your head about what this painting should look like. Watercolor, because of the way the paints are applied to the paper you have to have a picture in your "head" of what this will look like as a finished painting. The nice thing about oils is you can change your "Concept" in mid painting. Just wipe off the area you want to change. Not going to happen with watercolors......
