Students will experience an exciting way to paint in watercolor as they begin loosely painting the negative background, thinking only in terms of warm and cool, light and dark. Students will then slowly refine painting by both lifting and adding paint. The saturated wet application allows easy lifting, gives soft edges, and maintains a unified background. This two day workshop will give students a real sense of this method, as timing is extremely important. The class will begin with a loose, abstract painting and then lift paint from the damp surface to create movement and flow. Details like scales and eyes are added at the very end. The results are rich, vibrant paintings that have a few tight details surrounded by loose, painterly color. www.lindapullinsi.com
