Today is the second half of my conversation with watercolorist Carrie Waller. If you haven’t heard Part A, I would recommend starting there as we get into Waller’s process and outlook and a whole bunch of other great stuff that lays the groundwork today’s part B. 

In today’s episode, we get into the technical. Waller paints beautiful glass and she talks about the pitfalls she sees her students (and herself) running into with glass. You’ll also learn about the importance of artist friends and some tips on creating stronger compositions in your own work. 

she approaches painting glass. What she needs from her light. you do listen to it first. It lays the groundwork for some of what we discuss in today’s episode. Plus it’s always useful to understand an artists’ process when hearing why they work that way.
