Painting with watercolors sometimes feels like sculpting

Thursday, December 18th, 2008

Each time I add a darker wash to layers, it creates an illusion of shadow and depth. It’s like I’m digging into the paper with a brush to create a indentation even though I’m actually building layers on top of layers. That’s one of my favorite things about using watercolors.
