In this Episode of Art Grind, Marshall, Sophia, and Dina join forces to interview an exceptional watercolorist, Frederick Brosen. Fredrick grew up in 1960’s New York, and found his home and identity in the city through its spaces, architecture, and culture. We talk about the ever changing art world, technique, and the studio as a sanctuary where an artist can maintain their integrity and authenticity. We also talk about the idea of mastery. Whatever your medium, style, or interest; mastery seems to be something that is earned through hard work, and always demands respect if not affection. Join us and stay inspired!
