Advancing with Watercolor: Edges “Place des Vosges“

This is a video done as a supplement to a watercolor class taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This is the 7th of a series of 8 lessons that will use various scenes of Paris as a motif. The lessons will focus on design , in particular visualizing a center of interest and using this as a means to compose the painting. In this lesson I talk about using edges to create a center of interest. The painting is build by creating a feel of a rainy day through soft edges and light tones in the distance. After the painting dries shapes of cars and figures are added with firm edges using dry paper. Dry brush creates some of the broken edges that are added in the finishing stages. The painting was done using yellow ochre, cad red light, cobalt blue, b sienna and juane brilliant is used as an accent color A supplemental video describing some drills to create the 4 types of edges we use in watercolor painting can be found here My Materials List: http://w
