Create art that captures memories and emotions with gold-medal-winning watercolorist George James. In this advanced watercolor workshop, George leads you beyond techniques for mixing paint and making shapes to the level of feeling color and understanding design.

Inspired by the memory of a childhood music lesson, George demonstrates his entire process for creating meaning on YUPO paper. He translates moods and moments into artistic metaphors, using gesture and color to define his menacing instructor and deliberate shapes to conjure the monotony of a metronome.

With airbrushed glazes, squeegees, masking tape and even his fingernails, George endows the painting with the character, color and elegant curves of his old violin. This video features more than an hour of bonus material covering composition, design concepts, acrylics and creative techniques for drawing. The entire workshop guides you from technical and material concerns toward making decisions based on meaning and design. Elevate your art with George James in Designing for Content.
