The Shoemaker, Stage 1. Watercolor Demonstration by Ev Hales

Watch an inspiring demonstration where the painting is really established with the first wash of color. This is making a single layer work really hard as it defines the white areas and creates tonal values of the rest of the painting. Learn How to: 1. Look beyond the object to a pattern of color on the paper. 2. Know when to use a crisp dry edge and when to blend one hue into another. 3. Be bold with this first application of paint. 4. Create a fabulous background for a portrait study.
