Video Download: Painting In The Flow of Watercolor

You'll learn from a master how to create the atmosphere you want for your watercolor paintings. In this DVD watercolor workshop, watch author, artist, and teacher Ann Pember demonstrate her dynamic painting process as she brings a mountain stream to life. Make your own watercolor paintings come alive with Painting In The Flow of Watercolor and its companion watercolor instruction video Vibrant Orchid. From two reference photos, Ann creates a peaceful, atmospheric design that captures a mountain stream's energy. Using only five colors and two brushes, she sequences the application of paint and water to create a variety of textures. Moss covered rocks, dense forest foliage, and energetic currents of water come to life with Ann's delicate, studied touch. Ann Pember uses the "high plate" surface of the illustration board to her advantage. She sprays water into areas at just the right moment to move the pigment along the surface of the board. She alters edges, softens transitions, and places tree trunks to develop her dynamic mountain scene. Ann's watercolor instruction is insightful and liberating.
