How-To Video: Painting In The Flow Of Watercolor: On High Plate Illustration Board by Ann Pember 5_bulb Review this video!

Ann Pember's harmonious approach to her work is fully evident in this peaceful atmospheric scene. From two reference photos, Ann creates a design that captures a mountain stream's energy. Ann Pember uses only five colors and two brushes. She systematically paints each area, sequencing the paint and water to create a variety of textures. Moss covered rocks, dense forest foliage and energetic currents of water come to life with Ann's delicate studied touch. Ann Pember uses the *high plate*; surface of the illustration board to her advantage. She sprays water into areas at just the right time to move the pigment on the surface of the board. She alters edges, softens transitions and places tree trunks to improve her dynamic mountain scene. Ann's technique is insightful and liberating.

The DVD with Ann Pember was really wonderful. I learned different techniques that were completely new to me and that created a feeling and texture that I've been trying to achieve for ages. I highly recommend this DVD!

This is a beautiful demo of a painting from beginning to end. Very interesting and worth watching. However, there is very little teaching, just the demo. And if you wish to try and duplicate this painting, I believe you will have to buy the surface she is using or something similar. Still, it is a very good demo and well worth watching and shows you the wide range of colors and values that can be made from just four colors.
