Watercolour Demonstration mountains

To create the sharp edge of the white mountain tops I started with dry paper. The watercolour paint will never bleed into a dry area so you can create very crisp lines by painting on a dry surface.

I painted the trees in this mountain scene 'wet on wet' which is a term to describe painting with watercolour onto already wet paper. You have to work quickly so that the paper doesn't dry before you are done. The colours will bleed into the wet paper giving very soft edges.
