William Trost Richards: Watercolor Badass

Amazing stuff. I just went back and looked at these a week later and they’re better than I remembered. 4 weeks later, and I still love these. I’ve been exploring lots of watercolor artists lately and am amazed at how different they can be in competent hands. Richards is still one of my favorites. His “coupons” are something I keep revisiting.
