Advancing with Watercolor: Value Patterns Regatta along the Charles

This is a video done as a supplement to a watercolor class taught by Gary Tucker in Boston. This video illustrates the techniques of dry into wet and wet into wet and also drybrush... Also the video begins with a tonal rendering of the same motif to illustrate the importance of understanding the tonal structure of the painting and stating it simply before moving to color. This video shows haw the artist “sees“ their subject in terms of lights and darks and uses this vision as a structure for color. A list of materials that I use can be found at Thank you for liking this short video and for your comments. You can see more instruction and examples of artwork at my website
