About this lesson

Innovative reverse-order technique working from sky foundation to foreground details and backgrounds while waiting for paint to dry. Layers watercolor/gouache foundation, adds ink figures, blocks architectural shapes, and applies pencil details. Emphasizes flexibility and embraces happy accidents through strategic media layering.
