Watercolor sketches in fifteen minutes. Plus some uber illustrative watercolorists.

Another watch-worthy artist demo–this time by Georgia watercolorist Jim Chapman (his color commentary, and the ambient sounds of crickets, locusts and crows ice the cake).
[Shortcut to the video itself].
After viewing his video, be sure to read his artist’s columns. Jim is a contributing editor to the Artist’s Magazine publications.
Speaking of which, there is an article in the August issue of Watercolor Magic. Here is an excerpt, but there are seven more pages of more interesting content in the magazine itself. Featured illustrators/watercolorists include Pat Porter, Nita Engle, Russell Walks (Star Wars trading cards) and Ted Burn. I love the crossover between fine art and illustration.

i love it when star wars crosses over into fine art instruction. my favorite example before this was reading about the star wars “plot braid” in a book about writing.

What a great water colour illustration. This is the first water colour that has grabbed my attention in a while.
Great work!
