Sandy Allnock has a great online course that demonstrates multiple techniques for Watercolor Backgrounds. I wanted to take it a step further and test the techniques on paper other than watercolor paper. (Can you tell which paper is the watercolor paper?) Below are today’s results.

For this rosy practice session, I used a bigger brush and added some layers of color – either a deeper tone of the same color or something completely different. Fresh Florals art-classes.com Sandy Allnock
Back in the studio today and warming up with some roses! Looking forward to trying some variation with line, layer and color. There is something wonderful about bright colors on a crisp, fresh piece of paper. Fresh Florals art-classes.com Sandy Allnock
