This piece is a tribute to Train, the band behind hits like Drops of Jupiter and Hey, Soul Sister. The cool-toned colors and railroad tracks subtly nod to their name, while also setting a bold, moody vibe. I used layered watercolor washes to build depth, letting the pigments naturally blend and create contrast and atmosphere. The brush pen details bring out the band members’ expressions without overshadowing the softness of the watercolor, finding a nice balance between realism and stylization. I had the chance to share it with the band, and they loved it—such an unforgettable moment!
“This is amazing! Thanks for making us look so good.” — Pat Monahan, Leader Singer of Train
