.The bad news! We are back in isolation once again. I had to suspend my in-person watercolor class here in Kaneville.
The good news! More time to paint!
​I haven’t done a “full sheet” painting for many years. The standard size watercolor paper is 22’ x 30’. Let the fun begin!
The subject is my favorite -rocks and water..
Step #1 is the background. I plan on treating the water with a lot of detail, so the background needs to be less detailed.
I wet the area with a solution of glycerin and water. Painting it while wet, and blotting and spraying it made the pigments run and create shapes that suggest rocks.
