Frank Webb states it well

Frank Webb, in his book titled Watercolor Energies, writes: As you draw and paint, guideposts which point to progress are contradictory, and the road is strewn with obstacles and distractions. It is essential to bulldoze these obstacles or to find a way around them. Painting, being a solitary journey, is crucial to sustain morale . . . 


Frank urges the artist forward, to rely upon his/her own power, to make discoveries with the qualities of the watercolor medium.

Me: painters, wet those brushes! (I'll take my own advice and will post a result later in the day.)
