Linda Baker: Fearless Watercolor: Layering and Color

Master foundation skills and fun, easy techniques in Linda Baker's beginner-friendly art video workshop. 

You'll layer fresh, glowing watercolors as you create a one-of-a-kind nature scene.

Baker uses masking, an easy technique that lets you stop worrying about mistakes. Once your masking fluid is in place, you can play with bright pigments and flowing paint with no fear of damaging your composition. The forgiving subject matter in this demonstration is perfect for painters new to watercolor or artists who are still developing their drawing skills. Linda Baker introduces you to her favorite tools and materials and offers practical design advice as she paints with broad, loose brush strokes. You add life to your tree line with simple texturing methods involving scratching, salt, and spattering. Baker works on three paintings in different states of completion to show you whats possible with her versatile process. With her masking methods and experimental approach to color, no two paintings will ever turn out the same.
