A Drying Day


Breaking the rules in watercolor. I took a class with Susan Wolgar today. I have taken 4 classes from her now and she is wonderful. This class we did an underpainting in Black and white goauche (spelling/sorry) picking out at least five values in a blocking approach.You can then come in adding watercolors with alot of water (the gouache is used quite dry)reductive painting is used more than normal with this technique (at least for watercolor) spritzing and then rubbing with a paper towel.....well I will not try to outline the whole class but I was greatly inspired even though I trashed my first attempt in the classroom.
