Oil Pastel Acrylic Cartooning Drawing Watercolor Special Subjects Watercolor Basics Watercolor—the ultimate painting medium—takes only a few minutes to learn but a lifetime to master. I fell in love the first time I saw the rush of color on wet paper. After thirty years of painting, I still find it fun, exciting, and completely suited to my every art need, from quick, loose studies to photorealistic masterpieces. What watercolor isn’t is boring. Some days it seems to have a mind of its own, producing unexpected but fresh and entirely pleasing effects. It’s learning to work with these happy accidents that helps bring your inner artist out to play. Whether you’re a master painter or an absolute beginner, watercolor is the perfect partner for your painting pleasure. —Deb Watson Creating the Illusion of Depth You can add depth to a flat painting by changing value, color temperature, color saturation, and softening edges. Evoking Mood Evoking a specific mood in a painting requires careful choice of color and form. To enhance the feeling of calm and wonder in this beautiful snow scene, simplify the details. Adding Interest People are fascinating subjects, but capturing human interest in a portrait requires a special approach that highlights the individual’s unique characteristics. A dramatic background combined with playful bubbles adds interest galore to this portrait and accentuates the sweet innocence of childhood. Creating Texture with Salt & Masking The prospect of painting fur can feel daunting, but don’t let the challenge hold you back! Rather than paint thousands of tiny hairs, simply apply washes of color and let salt create the illusion of fur.
