Manhattan Watercolor Demonstration

Mixed Emotions, James Toogood, watercolor

In the spring 2008 issue of  Watercolor magazine, James Toogood discussed how painting with watercolor requires an understanding of not only the paints themselves but also their application. Click here for his demonstration of "Mixed Emotions". The scene is 50th Street and Broadway in midtown Manhattan, a location that is usually a frenzy of activity. Toogood eliminated the people from the composition so he could focus on the cacophony of color, light, shape, and texture of the buildings.
