The paintings below are done by two adult painters who
have both had some previous lessons, and who now are interested in learning
to 'push the envelope' a little and go beyond the limitations of traditional
watercolor technique. These examples are still fairly traditional in
approach, and the artists are using both glazing (layering the paints) and
granulation (painting wet into wet) to add interest and complexity to the
colors.
They're working with both synthetic and natural bristle brushes in both round and flat shapes. They're trying out a variety of 300 pound papers in cold press, soft press, and hot press, and both are enjoying the experience of learning to guide the process at times, and letting the process guide them at others.
