Creating Texture in Transparent Watercolor with Jean Grastorf

From ArtistsNetwork.TV:Grastorf creates an abstract watercolor painting by covering the paper with painter's tape and cutting out interesting shapes. She shows you how to make a sampler demonstrating different techniques for creating texture with transparent watercolor, such as using wax resist, masking, scraping paint with the edge of a credit card, and others.
You can hang such a sampler in your studio to remind you of all the possible effects you can create. So the next time you're painting a brick wall, or a snowy night, for example, you can refer to the sampler to find the best technique for creating the desired effect.

Jean, Your great! I've been inspired for many years with transparent watercolor, starting with Maxfield Parish. I bought your book and my first sketch is on the table, masked and ready for my first pour tomorrow! Cheers! Jan.2010
