How I Paint a Supermarket Entrance (You’ll be surprised by my messy start)

James Gurney paints the automatic doors of a supermarket grocery store in Kingston, New York. As he demonstrates the step-by-step process in watercolor and gouache, he shows what colors he uses, how he pushes the painting through the “ugly stage”, and how he is inspired by French philosopher Emile Zola, who encouraged artists to paint commonplace subjects.

Quotes from Émile Zola:
“The past was but the cemetery of our illusions: one simply stubbed one's toes on the gravestones.”
(Le passé n'était que le cimetière de nos illusions, on s'y brisait les pieds contre des tombes.)
“A work of art is a corner of creation seen through a temperament” (Une oeuvre d'art est un coin de la création vu à travers un tempérament)
