Advancing with Watercolor: Texture - “Lobsterman’s Backyard“

This is a video done as a supplement to a watercolor class taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. While walking around the quaint village of Marblehead one is drawn to the tiny alleys and on occasion a great motif. The scene is commonplace which sometimes yields a more creative painting. My students were somewhat surprised as I started to set up my equipment in front of the fishing shacks. I found a respectable motif at a god time of day. Plenty of opportunity for texture using drybrush and other unorthodox applications. Painted on rough paper using mop brushes and a sablette brush as well as well. cobalt blue, sap green, b sienna, and neutral tint... Thank you for liking and sharing this short video and for your comments. You can see more instruction and examples of artwork at my website
