Yellow : Lesson in Painting

Hello Everyone,

+This is a fairly quick, sketch-based watercolor painting recorded in real-time. In this video, I cover intention, interpretation, formatting, composition, values, drawing, perspectives, etc. But primarily I discuss structuring a work around a single dominant color. This is a very unusual approach for me and I wanted to investigate it.

+The scene is looking south on First Avenue here in New York City - with a bit of a York Avenue view included to be able to include a glimpse of the 59th Street Bridge..

Thanks for watching!
Tom
