Wyatt Waters: The Watercolor Road

Join us as artist Wyatt Waters discusses his new book The Watercolor Road. With an impressive collection of 133 paintings, 21 essays, and an array of adages that depict both the South and Wyatt’s relentless trek to be a better painter as a mindset rather than a destination, the book beautifully captures Wyatt’s longing ambition to explore and present this place called home in plein air watercolor.
