153-Watercolor Pouring

Learn how to pour transparent watercolors directly onto paper to create luminous color, creating a glow that is hard to duplicate with a brush. The instructor will show you step-by-step how enjoyable it is to pour watercolor, by demonstration and with hands-on lessons. Students will pour the backgrounds, the lights and medium values, and paint the darks.
