WORKING ON DRY PAPER

This is very different than “house painting” where hardware store brushes are designed to be swept back and forth over a wall to release the paint. Small soft watercolor brushes are designed to hold a watery wash and leave a wide variety of marks. The watercolor painting needs to look lush and sometimes dripping with a generous application.

This is the same reference photo as the previous demonstration but here we will address a different problem. We often want to have pleasant surroundings for our subjects and not just cropped or abstract backgrounds. One idea is to keep our subject in silhouette so the treatment can be consistent with the rest of the painting.
