Didn't have much time on this one - I barely finished the pencil sketch before my subject got up and walked away. Luckily a couple of gals sat down maybe 15 minutes later, so I stole their shadow patterns and colors to fill in the watercolors. Later that afternoon I picked up some supplies from Art Creations and spent about 20 minutes chatting with a kind fellow who turned out to be the owner. I thanked him for still being in business - Amazon and the big box stores have pushed out so many small art stores these days that it's a pleasure every time I run across one. When I first began painting in college, I spent hours at our local store, and the manager there gave me so much advice - I learned most of my painting materials knowledge from him, over the years, and that's something Amazon can't give you.
