This is a video done as a supplement to a watercolor class taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This is the 8th of a series of 8 lessons that will use various scenes of Paris as a motif. The lessons will focus on design , in particular visualizing a center of interest and using this as a means to compose the painting. Also the series returns to the use of graded washes to create light and transition in the paintings
In this lesson I talk about using the various methods I have outlined in previous videos such as using graded Washes, color strategies, thinking in terms of tonal values, and edge control.
The painting was done using yellow ochre, cad red light, ultramarine blue, b sienna and lavender....Holbein juane brilliant is used as an accent color, as well as cad orange red right out of the tube...
