Watercolor is a wonderful, fluid medium that can capture subtle or sweeping motion in vivid color.
The wonderful red, peach and yellow hues in this painting are created by allowing two pigments to mix directly on the paper as opposed to mixing them on the palette.
This building color with watercolor free project comes from the book Water Color in Motion by Birgit O’Connor. In the book you’ll get:
* complete information on selecting the best papers, paints and brushes and how to achieve intense color passages, the illusion of depth and lively shadows.
* 10 exercises and 15 step-by-step demonstrations that illustrate important lessons on shapes, complementary colors, masking fluid, glazing and more.
* a DVD that shows key techniques in action as well as troubleshooting common problems with washes.
