You must have worked very fast, as they don't encourage people to linger with a line out the door! Did you sketch the outside as well? My all time favorite diner.
James, Just yesterday I found out about your Bonus video for Watercolor in the Wild. Loving all of your 'In the Wild' series so far. Do you have any plans for another Watercolor video? I'd certainly love to see more of your process and more watercolor. Best, Carlos
James, do you ever use masking liquid when you paint in waterecolor or gauche? I've never seen you use it, but thought I'd ask. I've got a bottle I've carried around and never used, so I think I'll leave it out of kit.
Kehl, I also bought a bottle a while ago, but I've never used it.
