Flowing Florals: The Informed, Intuitive Approach with Robbie Laird
Robbie Laird’s instructional art DVD workshop teaches you a few simple preparations that will make all the difference when watercolor painting. She starts with her painting materials and shows you how to use color mixing theory to logically organize your palette. Laird then begins her watercolor lessons where she first gathers her source material including sketch book sketches and photos for color. Next she delves into her favorite watercolor technique wet-into-wet and uses a double loaded brush, one of her art tips, to create smooth blending. Laird works with the fluidity of her watermedia to create saturated, rich color. Laird's watercolor painting techniques are fun, fast and fluid!
