One of the interesting things that I've found with water color. My degree is in drawing and I'm very good at drawing but it also takes me a lot of time. And the more time it takes to paint a painting the less income basically. So the reason I use a projector and project the image is to get a lot of detail in a short amount of time so I can focus on the painting. And as you'll see on this piece here which I've already laid out there's a number of very intricate details on this that would have taken me an extraordinarily long time to actually paint. So as an example the bridle on this horse. This young ladies Mother actually made it by hand. This is bead work. And all of the leather work and stuff. People know when that's incorrect if you do that they know if anythings out of place with the animal. Anything like that. So by projecting your image and getting all the tight detail, getting the eyes perfect, getting the perspective perfect. That takes some of the weight off of getting the drawing right. You can focus more on the painting. You can experiment more with techniques and you can create more paintings than you may have been able to do otherwise.
