It's Fall and I'm trying to do some new paintings. I'm being influenced by that passionate Spanish watercolorist from Australia....Alvaro Castagnet. He is fearless and paints without really drawing, scribbling would describe his drawing technique. Then he paints right over the figures, whatever and concentrates on shapes, values, edges and design. I hope to learn a lot from his work as I want to loosen up. A good way to do this is to copy his paintings, not to worry about looking like the exact work but to learn the process of applying paint, wet in wet, color into color, etc. I can't wait to see if I retain any of the information I'm studying.
