Watercolor detail


For you watercolor students/enthusiasts/patrons, here is a detail study (from the same painting) showing some brush-work and the beautiful texture achieved with the paper. The transparency of the paint is evident here. I have said it before ~ the quality of materials used is worth the extra cost. I am using Winsor & Newton tube pigments, Kolinsky red sable brushes (from England) and fine French Arches paper. I have use a limited amount of opaque pigment for some details, but very sparingly.
