I’ve spent the last three days at Spectrum Fantastic Art Live 2 in Kansas City going face-to-face with the likes of Iain McCaig, Justin Sweet, and Vance Kovacs. Got a lot of positive feedback on my work, and learned a ton just watching these guys do their thing. Truly priceless.

I’ve been wanting to attempt a portrait in watercolor for some time now, and after seeing Justin’s watercolor skills in person I was inspired to give it a go. Here is a little 9x12 study of our Founding Father George Washington, after Gilbert Stuart 1795.
