On the Farm

 


This watercolor demo was done to show techniques giving texure to wood. Using the wrong end of a brush, an end that is rather pointy, you just draw lines and boards are formed. It has to be done carefully because once a depression is made in watercolor paper, it can't be removed! Some artists sign their work this way because of it's permanency. Using drybrush technique is a way to make wood look old and weathered. You can see how important shadows are to a painting. They give depth and reality along with perception. The farmgirl carrying a basket is the result of a mistake. Meaning I covered something up creatively!
