Painting Watercolor Winter Barn Fence Post Accents

Video Transcript

"We're going to do some more violet. We need to show some vertical plankings in the valet extrusion, right there. Then, a little red sign on the barn. The right place can be very interesting, don't want it too dense. Now, while all this is dry, that is, the fencepost and the background. Make sure it's dry. If it's warm to the touch it's dry, if it's cool then it's evaporating and therefore it's wet. We're going to move this horizontally right where the tops of the fencepost should be. We don't want to dig very deep, just scratch the surface so to speak of the paper and form rounded tops of the fencepost. They'll be contrasting against the forest in the background. Always check your work and make sure that you got all the hard edges that you want removed. Don't leave them very long because hard edges get hard to get rid of once it dries real good. So you've got a couple hours of easy and, basically, ten minutes of real easy and then after that it gets tougher to the point where that you won't be able to get any of it out. Depending on the color, and every color is slightly different."
