Layering paint
See pp.58–61
Complex forms can be
created with layered washes,
building up colors from light
to dark—the interactions
between colors add
interest and vibrancy.
Watercolor pens
See pp.156–157
The dened outlines of these
elements were created using
pens around the edges of the
shapes, then a wet brush was
applied to gently blend the
colors in places.
Wet-in-wet
See pp.52–55
A range of bright colors
were mixed dynamically
on the paper, allowing new
shades to emerge. Choosing
analogous colors helps
maintain a cohesive balance.
Showcase painting
This energetic oral artwork demonstrates just how bold and spirited
watercolors can be. The considered layering of elements and clean
edges delineating forms temper a more-is-more approach to color,
while watercolor markers, salt, and bleach add graphic detail.
