People say this all the time and, frankly, I don't understand. I can go outside right now and find Hooker's green and Spring green and Sap green. I can even find phthalo green. It may be more accurate to say that these greens don't really look good on watercolor paper. But they are definitely found in nature.

Hi Don, loose watercolour style has remained beyond my grasp; I'm just too wary to go there. I love your style though...and I'm pretty fussy about what I like. Still, I figure if I watch & listen to your masterclass tips - and that's what they are - something may just rub off.
