This short video demonstrates an exercise through which we may come to learn about OUR watercolors. Each of us has a slightly different array of colors, and different brands. This exercise is designed to understand their properties and how they work together whether through layering colors on top of each other, by mixing them on the palette, or by mixing them directly on the paper. I present this video this a standalone because I feel it’s important to understand your colors independent of an image.
Any drill is good for this because we can give 100% of our attention to the media and what’s happening on the paper.
Just as the musician practices scales to warm up we can practice our “color” scales as well.
I used only 4 colors for this exercise but ideally this exercise should be applied and practiced with all your colors....
STAY TUNED: In my next video I take some of what I learn and apply it to a painting of the autumn season in Boston.
