Lady in Red Lacecap Hydrangea in Watercolor

In this time lapse video with real time narration and captions, Doris Ettlinger uses pure pigment and strong contrasts to turn an already lovely lacecap hydrangea into a dramatic watercolor painting. Her techniques include pressure strokes to create hard and soft edges, dropping strong color into wet washes, negative painting, spattering, and glazing. Originally recorded for the Musconetcong Watercolor Group of northwestern New Jersey.

Brushes: Silver Black Velvet (various sizes), DaVinci sable no.12, Loew Cornell Ultra Round no. 10, rigger brush.
