Our assignment was to use three values of ink wash to paint a master’s work. To me, ink wash was sort of like eating your vegetables. You need to do it in order to be able to do other things.

And doing them has taught me a ton about really seeing and observing the world – intensely satisfying in and of itself and essential for continuing to develop my skills as a watercolorist.
