Joseph DeMartini had the distinction of being the only colleague with whom Alberto Vargas shared some of his artistic secrets. Specifically, Vargas taught DeMartini his private technique of obtaining the famous "Vargas flesh tones," using watercolor and airbrush. This offering is a prime example of his work in this medium, a pin up scene celebrating New Year's Day, which nicely displays Vargas' influence on the artist.
