SECOND WATERCOLOR CLASS, November 13, 2014

SECOND CLASS,  NOVEMBER 13, 2014
The project for the second class was to find the balance between controlling color and letting color and water do their own thing.  The method was applied to the background, by using a strict color scheme (analogous, complementary or triadic) while applying splotches of wet color next to each other.
