During this watercolor demonstration I will focus on working with plenty of water and pigment to exploit the wonder and intrinsic beauty of the watercolor medium. I will avoid the pitfalls of noodling with fussy details and instead focus on the importance of good design including interesting shapes, value contrast and edge variety. With this knowledge we will explore and experience the “magic” that makes watercolor so distinctive.
