Original watercolors by Michele Cooper.Two examples of tulip fields, using the principles of gradation and alternation with reference photo.
For those who are curious about what goes on in my watercolor classes, here is an excerpt from a recent session, with visual aids, demonstrations and sample assignments.
Using Walnut Ink or Liquid Pencil, study lights and darks of your subject.
Select one of your reference photos or sketches. Make one or two eighth sheet watercolor sketches to work out the composition, then use the sketch to make a larger painting.
Have fun, all you Sunday painters!
