Direct painting techniques. Begin with exercises on
loose watercolor, capturing value, working with edges,
developing a color palette, and mingling color, all
while painting favorite subjects such as figures,
buildings and still lifes. We finish the workshop with a
complete painting demo from start to finish, focusing on
juicy color and strong light and shadow contrasts.
PAINTING
ON YUPO
Using watercolor on Yupo paper. Yupo is
a synthetic, waterproof and tree-free
paper. This makes it a challenge for some
watercolorists, however the results are incomparable.
This shows you how the Yupo challenge can be conquered.

HOW TO CREATE A "RUB-OUT" DRAWING

later.

then "lifting" paint from the paper.
