Alan Oliver - DVD and Books Instructional DVD
I have produced a DVD film called - 'Capturing Light with Watercolour'.
In it I show three methods of watercolour painting including the 'Layering', that is soaking the paper with water then applying the paint in layers starting with the lightest to the darkest tones, allowing each layer to dry first.
The second method 'Wet into wet' starts again with soaking wet paper, then applying the colours quickly to achieve a soft edge effect.
The third method is drawing with waterproof ink on dry paper then applying wet colour washes.
The film runs for almost one hour.
The DVD is only available from me at £20 plus postage. For more details please email - alanoliver2@googlemail.com
