Review this video!
The viewer has the opportunity to experience the extraordinary technical mastery of this artist. Burt is both controversial and candid as he unravels the secrets of his watercolor techniques. The video has everything, from taping down the paper through the corrections of the design down to the last stroke on the model’s fingers. He uses careful design, wonderful and unusual color and some very new and different methods to get the affect of the light and modeling that he desires. Burt uses brushes and paper towels to erase, big mop brushes and cross strokes to color large areas and pencil or charcoal to correct. Silverman explains everything as he paints. IT is recommended for watercolorists and oil painters alike.

The watercolor technique Burt shows here is not for the average person wanting to learn watercolor. This is a very different, highly involved technique that takes much practice to learn properly. But if you can get through the learning curve it will blow your mind. The flexibility it offers is a delight. This is the technique that Burt devoted his book to: "Breaking The Rules Of Watercolor."
I've painted extensively like this for years, and I now have a blog on my website covering some of the nuances that help make learning this technique easier. Paste this into your browser:
