Chiz Demonstrates Her Watercolor Techniques

“I did the entire painting with a 3” brush, in honor of Henry Fukuhara, who passed away Jan. 30, 2010. I had given him the brush for Christmas a month before, and he painted with it. At his funeral, his daughter gave me the brush back, as she said Henry would have wanted me to have it. Henry loved working with, and telling us to use, a very large brush.”
