Advancing with Watercolor - Edge control Part 3 “Moonlight on Snow“

This is a video done as a supplement to a watercolor class taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This video is the final part to a 3 part series in which I develop a theme over the course of several paintings. This process of immersion in a single motif is an excellent exercise for every artist, you have only to look at art history to see it in practice. This painting was done while reflecting on moonlight and its effect on snow. I relied heavily on dark rich pigment and a lot of dry brush technique to capture the sparkling edges created by moonlight on snow. Thank you for liking this short video and for your comments.
