Advancing with Watercolor Edge Control Part 1 New Snow

This is a video done as a supplement to a watercolor class taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This video is the first part to a 3 part series in which I develop a theme a homestead in snow over the course of several paintings. This process of immersion in a single motif is an excellent exercise for every artist, you have only to look at art history to see it in practice. This painting was painted to express the low afternoon light and its effect on color and shadow. A variety of techniques were used, wet into wet, dry brush, dry into wet to attain a wide variety of edges. You can find drills that will help your edge control here. Thank you for liking this short video and for your comments. You can see more instruction and examples of artwork at my website
