I was the same at 15, and I was a keen water colourist back then too. It probably just is his age and like you say hormones. At 15 your body is flooded with them. Maybe he could try a medium of art that allows for more aggressive treatment such as oils - then if he gets angry with it he can always paint over it.

I think it was just the pressure of trying to get it done and helping granddad which he had been doing . Hes yes a typical boy but considering hes normally level headed . I have seen his course work on saturday hes good [if i m baised then so be it ] but he as found a liking for oil pastels but hes doing an arylic for a fianl piece for this part of his course work
