A Conversation With Watercolor Artist Andy Evansen

A couple weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to interview Andy Evansen, who is a world-renowned watercolor artist. We talked about his love for the medium, his struggles along the way, and what he would focus on if he was just learning how to paint. 

Andy is a fantastic painter, an awesome teacher, and has become a good friend of mine. In our conversation he talks about his current projects and reflects on the following:

• What draws him to watercolor 
• The importance of learning the fundamentals
• How he simplifies the background of his scenes 
• The challenge of plein air painting - but why it is important.
• The value in keeping perspective both in times of challenge and success
• And more!

I hope you enjoy learning from him as much as I do!
