The exact same principles apply, except with a computer, you can quickly preview how your paintings might look as you try different ideas along the way.

Zagotta has a passion for art history with a special interest in Modernism and finds inspiration in the work of Edouard Vuillard, Henri Matisse, and Richard Diebenkorn.
