A start-to-finish lesson on interpreting photographic reference into a communicative watercolor painting. The subject is The Lake in NYC's beautiful Central Park.

The goal of the painting was to show ways in which the painter can design a work based on a combination of physical real-world observation, memory, and pure imagination.

+This painting was done on Baohong Watercolor Paper - rough surface - 300gsm :
+15X22 inches
+Pigments by Daniel Smith
+Brushes by Escoda and Neef
+Palette by House of Hoffman
+Sketch pencils by Blackwing and Faber-Castell
+Sketchbook by Stillman + Birn

Thank you for watching! Tom
