How to Apply a Soft Edge with Watercolor Paints

Video Transcript

"Hi! Once again, from Expert Village, I'm Sue Rose. We're going to begin by adding a little more depth to our water. Do you remember in the last segment I spoke on soft edges? I'm going to show you how to do that right now. We are going to begin. I'm going to switch from this brush, my number 10 brush, back to my number 30 brush. I continually switch from one brush to the other. We're going to use this brush, blot it, put it in your blue, and start with the water. Do you see how we're going to begin to blend these blue edges here with the land so that it all kind of fades in together? It's still a little wet down here. We don't want to touch the sky. You see how it is progressing. Now, I do know that there is a reflection from the sky in the water. Let's add some of this orange right down here under the sun and a little of the yellow as well. Okay. Let's add a little up in the sky some of that bright orange right around the sun here as well too. Alright. We're ready to dry our painting. Stay tuned for the next segment to see the final painting."
