Soft Focus Watercolor Painting Technique
Here is a very interesting Watercolor Painting Technique video by artist Elizabeth Fluehr. This is a technique that you don’t see often and a somewhat unconventional usage of the Watercolor painting medium. Most of the water that she uses with this technique is for the purpose of wetting the paper and not added to the paint itself. She only uses a small amount of water to lightly dampen her brush.
The name of this technique is called the “Soft Focus” technique and you will understand why it was given this name after watching the video.
Elizabeth begins by saturating a piece of 140lb Arches Watercolor Paper with water. The paper is then allowed to sit for some time until it loses its shiny appearance.

About Debi Watson
I showed talent with my drawing from an early age, but my parents discouraged me in the hope ‘that I would pursue something more productive’.
I spent much of my adult life working as a operating room nurse, but couldn’t abandon my love for painting. Working long hours and raising two children didn’t leave me with much free time, but I still managed to paint whenever I got the chance.
