Hoping you had a wonderful Thanksgiving - I welcome you back as we further explore our watercolor techniques. We begin by drawing a few leaf shapes with pencil and without pencil so we can test a couple of wet on wet approaches and compare the look and style.
In our final project we try a negative painting technique focused on composition, color and layers. With a light wash of yellow, we set up the first layer as we go from yellow green towards yellow, orange and finishing with reds and browns.
The key is patience and timing to allow the wet on wet technique show us what it can do. For the finishing touches we use very light color pencil to add texture and detail.
