I visited New York City a while back and shot a lot of reference photos of interesting street scenes. I wanted to try some looser architecture watercolor paintings. Sometimes I tend to paint a little tight and I wanted to go for a more abstract approach. This piece was done on yupo, a plastic like paper, which causes the color to pool on the surface instead of sinking in. It forces the artist to be decisive and not overwork the image. If you try to paint over an area, the previous layer of paint tends to come off and you end up with quite the mess. Its a challenging but fun process!
