Watercolor Exercises and Techniques

Purpose:

To experiment with a variety of watercolor techniques;

To make connections between experimenting with watercolor techniques learned to creating your own landscape watercolor.

Response:
Throughout the practice I have learned much. Water color is so different from acrylic in the sense that less is sometimes more. In both of the paints, layering is a necessary technique, but in watercolor, if you layer too much the paper becomes distorted and it will ruin the painting. In the uppermost picture I practiced different techniques, in the second I practiced layering and in the third I learned a few more.
