This video was done to support my class which meets in the Plein air along Cape Ann and the North Shore area. We meet at different parks and harbors throughout the summer painting watercolor outdoors. In video I present a few simple ideas on working with Color to effect the “glow” in our painting. In the previous week we challenged on doing the painting alla prima or in one go. Today we will build dry layers to create more luminosity in the painting, placing warm hues in the underpainting followed by rich darks using the warm/ cool relationship to enchanted the warm undertones. Also we make use of a light value pattern on top of a dark mid-tone to achieve readability and high contrast. An effort is made to context the smaller lights into a more cohesive shape that our motif presents.
You can find a small PDF that builds on some of the strategies of creating a watercolor plan and how that may be useful for you by going here.

In each video I will address some of the challenges with each motif and ways to meet those challenges. Along the way I hope you experience the same thrill of working under an open sky that we did.
