An Answer about watercolors: I find color very elusive and ethereal. For me, colors are subtle feels that can be almost heard and tasted. Certain music allows me to access color. Juana Molina is one artist. She uses lots of textures in her music. Also, having a quiet environment to work in allows me to hear and feel the color. I mix on metal butcher trays. I have one tray for warm colors, one for cool colors, and one for gray or neutral colors. I use Windsor & Newton watercolors. I leave the color on the tray after I'm finished painting so that I can find the colors I want again. Thanks for asking.

Thanks CSULB is still good to me. I did the gator drawings with the students.
