Advancing with Watercolor: The Figure “Elena and her Shadow“

This is a video done as a supplement to watercolor classes being taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This is the 1st of a series of 8 lessons that will use various scenes of Copley Square as a motif. In this series I would like to explain and illustrate how an artist uses design, and the technique of watercolor, to portray mood In this lesson I want to show how the artist begins to visualize their subject in terms of design, a simplified arrangement of shapes, and technique, primarily dry technique to create hard sharp edges The painting was done using 3 colors - yellow ochre, b Sienna t, and ultramarine blue - Holbein juane brilliant is used as an accent color, as well as cad orange red right out of the tube...
