Snowstorm in the Paddock in Watercolor

A condensed version of a demonstration for the Musconetcong Watercolor Group by Doris Ettlinger. The video combines real time narration, captions, and music. I learned this fun technique from reading Stephen Quiller's chapter "Using Gouache in a Snowstorm Scene" in EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT WATERCOLOR (Watson-Guptill, 1992). Thank you, Stephen. My students love this lesson.
Thank you Maggie Conroy for the photo of your horses Tonka and Turbo.
Music by Ben McFadden.
