Watercolorists often worry about overworking their paintings and creating “mud”. They also may find the multitude of colors in their paint box confusing and expensive. In this watercolor workshop, I will teach students how I work with a limited palette of only 3 staining transparent watercolor hues to craft clean and translucent paintings.
Students will first learn my color mingling, layering and lifting techniques.
Then I will demonstrate, working through a small floral and a small portrait.
