Biker painting by Russ Roca.

This live demo from Friday, June 12th is with Russ Roca from @pathlesspedaled! Russ creates vibrant, loose watercolors that capture a sense of the freedom felt riding a bike. We explored how our adventures (big and small) informed our studio art and painted a watercolor postcard together.⁠

Russ Roca is a bicycling YouTuber who focuses on the non-competitive side of cycling and combines his many interests from watercolors to fly-fishing with riding a bike. What began as a way to have a digital break from the monotony of editing videos all day, watercolor has become a passion that he now incorporates into his bike tours.⁠⠀
