We took a step back this week to work on technique before finishing the water color picture. Water colors are not an intuitive medium and need a bit of practice to see how they work. The students were to work step by step and use 3-4 colors wet-in-wet and wet-to-dry. They discovered that water on the paper creates a barrier between wet and dry paper, tipping the paper helps colors to run into one another and make new colors, the water does the work if you let it, putting more water next to a color will cause it to move. All in all it was a good lesson and one that turned out well.
