Our next stop brings us to Hwaseong Fortress in Korea. I was excited to paint this piece because I've never painted something inspired by Korea before...In fact, I painted one version already and threw it out since it just didn't feel right.

..Which brings me to one thought: Challenge yourself

Let your curiosity, not judgement open your mind to possibilities.
In this case, I never thought of fortresses in Korea until I did some research. I ended up learning more about this fortress than I would imagine..challenged myself with color explorations...and delighted in its' construction (took 700,000 man hours!)..

Onward....to the next castle....pack your bags!
