Charles Reid(1937-2019) is one of my favorite watercolor painters. He was known for his drawing skills and considered a master of watercolor. Reid was a successful teacher, workshop instructor and published numerous books. I own several of his books.
I admire his fluid, free flowing and direct approach to watercolor painting. In that vein, last month, I painted a copy of one of his watercolors, titled, Macy 2. My version is pictured above. I painted it in one sitting, which it seems like how he would have approached it.
Reid in watercolor did not build up too many layers of pigment so I tried this method, too. In addition, where possible, I tried to use the pigments he would use.
It is important for me to try other artist's methods as a break from my own routines.
