Sasha, he is marvelous as an artist and a great teacher. I see some of his qualities in the works you present here. You must had renewal studying beside other artists. Good for the soul and miles away from the subjects you analyse so well. Hurrah for renewal! You inspire me! I am about to start a renewal of my musical activity.
I've been teaching myself watercolor the past two years and enjoy the pieces you post; I'm also a self-taught oil, acrylic, gouache and pastel artist and I wonder if watercolor is not the trickiest medium to work with. This post is a super nice break from all the oh so serious stuff we are all here trying to understand and is good as a reminder to feed our souls as well as our minds. Love your artwork, Sasha.
Thanks so much for sharing your trip experience and mentioning the McDowell Mountains. Awesome trip! Awesome watercolor art too! Beats visiting the Louvre.
Total vicarious rush for me! I’ve only enjoyed Castagnet’s videos and am so happy you got to Scottsdale to a workshop, and with a road trip too. Love the last sketch of the foggy mountains. Thanks for posting. You’re amazing!
Alvaro is the CARAVAGGIO of watercolours in the 21st century. his use of dark colours.
He appears to do most of his work/subject matter is in cities,
I looked at youir watercolours after his school, and darkness....
It shall be interesting to see how you interpet, incorporate various aspects of his art into your works. Alvaros work is very cluttered. You also paint a broader subject list.
There is a need for more detail in certain scenes, but express with your own approach being the dominant.

Spectacular Sasha! So very beautiful! Inspirational beyond words really. Thank you♥️🕊️
👌💐 Well done! Very good feelings for everything: Motiv, light, motion, Lines & atmosphere! 👏
I prefer your work to Alvaro's. dave
Working on that myself. The water in its more pure form brings the magic. I like yours better, no offence.

Love it!
Sasha thanks for introducing me to alvaro's work. and you're really pushing the envelope of the medium here
wonder if you caught any of the death valley earthquake action...
Fun to see, read. Thank you.

So Beautiful! Amazing! I wish I could paint like this xD
Wow, I like him. You’re very good to. I like the light in yours.
Nice watercolor pieces. Your instructor likes to use lots of washes; more than your personal style.
I like both.
Be well on your journeys

Beautiful things prevail in spite of techno-tyranny!
Do you ever look into nontoxic watercolors? I have seen some lists online but wondered whether you have taken to making your sets that way at all?
