depth of Nature Greens. On location at the Echo Canyon adjacent to the
Ghost Ranch in New Mexico. Judi uses those greens in a tree vignette
while demonstrating various brush techniques. Before starting the
painting, she shows her preparation with the placement and pattern
sketches. A studio wrap-up gives more pointers on how to add finishing
touches.
"Mist Over the Movie Set" - Explore Hard and Soft Edges in
Watercolor An adobe homestead, a weathered broken-down corral
with Georgia O'Keefe's gorgeous Mesa Backdrop shrouded in Mist gives
Judi the opportunity to explain her approach. First she discusses
concept, then the placement sketch and value exploration. Followed by a
controlled wet into wet technique she shows one way to handle a "misty
scene."
"The Yellow House" - The Creative Approach to Watercolor
On the street in Fernandina Beach, Florida, Judi Wagner
demonstrates the use of good picture-making using the Building Blocks
found in THE WATERCOLOR FIXIT BOOK. With this simple, straightforward
approach taking care of the basics, the painting of the Yellow House is
flamboyant and direct, letting the use of unrestrained color mixing take
an ordinary subject from the usual to an added level of creativity. Why
not try it with your next watercolor?
"Downtown Street View" - The Creative Approach to Watercolor
Judi Wagner discusses and demonstrates the use of values for
distance on the street scene and the use of light and shadow to depict
the forms found there. The dark tree in the foreground uses textures for
the foliage, trunk and hanging moss in sharp contrast with the lighter
street beyond. This is a full demonstration of on-location decisions and
organization for success in the field.
