Watercolors are my favorite choice for capturing an image quickly with spontaneity and freshness. 

I take my watercolors with me whether I am camping or traveling to places like Mexico, Hawaii, or Europe. 

They are compact, dry quickly, and let me work indoors and outdoors. 

I prefer to keep my work loose, to paint the impression of what I see. 

To avoid being too rigid, I often wet my blank paper before applying paint, then make broad strokes of color on the wet surface. 

The colors blur and merge and create a backdrop for more detailed applications.
