God gave me that. He attended school part time, studying illustration nights at the Philadelphia College of Art for six years. Unfortunately, the layout-style jobs he was offered, and the accompanying pay, were uninspiring. So he pursued fine art, taking classes and workshops at such places as Fleisher Art Memorial and Glassboro State College. I won't say I get it right all the time.
Watercolor is a true challenge.
Watercolorists must paint quickly and decisively, planning the entire design in their heads before they ever commit paint to the grainy paper. Many of Washington's watercolors have been sold, and it's not hard to see why. Many offer nostalgic looks at peaceful places sand dunes, aged barns, porch rockers and shade trees. Landscapes emerge in rich hues. Washington also draws, and there are portraits of Dr. Martin Luther King, Muhammad Ali, Frederick Douglass and himself.
