Foundations and Foundations 2 watercolor exercise (week of May 26-29)

Now that you are familiar with the four basic watercolor techniques from last week, we are going to practice them.

If you have watercolors at home:
Divide a sheet of paper into four different sections and attempt to demonstrate each of the four techniques (one per square)  using a single color:
wet on dry
dry on dry 
dry on wet
wet on wet

Each one should be distinctively different but on your first attempt it is possible that may not happen.
Repeat the process a second time and compare the first attempt to the second.

Please email me a picture of both by Monday June 1

If you do NOT have watercolor at home:

Explore soft and hard edges with a pencil and paper
sharp edges are defined edges that are often made with a straight edge.
soft edges are often soft and faded and can blend into a surface

Divide a sheet of paper into four sections and attempt to demonstrate the four techniques by using pencil to emulate them:
wet on dry
dry on dry 
dry on wet
wet on wet

Each one should be distinctively different but on your first attempt it is possible that may not happen.
Repeat the process a second time and compare the first attempt to the second.

Review last week's links if you need to refresh your memory on the differences between the techniques.
