The Passionate Painter in Havana - Part 1: Alvaro Castagnet
I just want to watch him paint while splitting a pitcher of sangria with him, don’t you? He travels all over the world, working in plein air.
He has such an amazing sense of composition and value that he can just whip these masterpieces out.

Mary Whyte also makes masterful watercolor pieces. But her way of researching and meticulous application, I do not think could be anymore different...and yes that image is a watercolor, NOT a photograph!
Artist Mary Whyte’s Labor of Love
In this video you see her working on a series she calls, Working South, based on Southern jobs that are going out of date.

Just click on the title of the videos to see them yourself. Would love to hear what you think of both of these artists and their approaches, particularly if you find it influences your own way of approaching watercolor!
