My technique is to carefully plan the work doing a sketch on the watercolor paper with a 6H pencil and then using a thin watercolor wash of the general shapes, differing the values of the washes. A single layer glaze in certain areas increases the appeal of the final work. After the paper is dry, I use india ink with a dip pen to apply the outlines and textures. A mixture of precise and loose lines matches the color application and allows me to strengthen the composition. Patti,

THAT WAY I CAN GET RIGHT UP TO MY LAYOUT OUTLINES. IF I HAPPEN TO GO OVER IT IS THEN EASY TO COVER UP(IN ACRYLICS AND OILS). WITH WATERCOLORS I DO THE LIGHTS FIRST NO MATTER WHAT PART THEY ARE ON AND PROCEED TO THE DARKEST. I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF ARTISTS ON YOU TUBE. JUST GO ON YOUTUBE.COM AND IN THE SEARCH BOX TYPE FINE ART PAINTING DEMOS AND A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF TECHNIQUES CAN BE FOUND THERE. MY PERSONAL FAVORITES ARE ARTBYTV.COM ARTIST JOHN BOSLER AND DENNIS SHEEHAN.COM. ALSO JERRYSARTARAMA.COM HAS A FREE VIDEO LESSONS ON ALL TYPES OF MEDIA. HOPE THIS HELPS AND GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR PAINTINGS. SUSAN HI PATTI, I HAVE FOUND THAT DOING THE BACKGROUND FIRST IS THE WAY I PREFER. THAT WAY I CAN GET RIGHT UP TO MY LAYOUT OUTLINES.
