This is a video done as a supplement to a watercolor class taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This video demonstrates working on locations with watercolor and early decisions that help the artist to edit and plan for a successful watercolor. This demonstration details how the artist looks for the first Big Shape in their composition. In this painting the forest and the canopy make up the Big Shape even though it is comprised of smaller similar shapes You can find Gary’s portfolio on-line at garytuckerartist.c
