Their brilliant sketches of "unposed" figures, full of motion and informality, are analyzed to reveal the artists' particular styles and techniques.* In contrast to studio portrait work, these techniques capture the spontaneity of everyday activitiesVicenc Ballestar is an award-winning, master watercolorist from Barcelona Spain.
