Figure in Watercolor at Mike Magrath's

There is something incredibly immediate and honest about watercolor, which matched perfectly with the model’s first time modeling ever.

The gestural flow of the brush is perfect for the figure. It can both encompass line and shape simultaneously.

Above I used some watercolor pencil for some finer line. I was timid with watercolor when I tried it in Europe and some in Mexico. Well…not that timid. But I can see it blossoming into a medium that I experience more freedom with. I plan on taking it with me on my upcoming Mexico and Colombia trip. I think the tropics and watercolor will be a good blend.
