Watercolor

Mrs. Bowen will demo different brush techniques for using watercolor. The key is to build layers. Start out with translucent color and make it darker by adding more layers.

Create your own practice sheet by adding all the different brush methods that Mrs. Bowen demos and by experimenting with shapes and brushes and patterns.
