This demo will be done in watercolor, a medium I’ve used since my youth. Being around New England throughout my life, I’ve been exposed to foggy conditions on and by the water.

I want to show how appropriate the medium of watercolor is in capturing the evanescent, moody and tonal qualities that a layer of fog can produce along the coast. The demo will feature water, sky, vessels and a bit of architecture as well.
