Techniques

The practice of painting a transparent, diluted layer of watercolor over an existing painted area that has completely dried. The underlayer shines through the glaze, mixing optically to create glowing luminosity and deep rich tones.

A foundational watercolor technique where wet pigment is brushed onto completely dry paper, creating crisp, defined contours and sharp graphic edges.

A core watercolor technique where wet paint is applied onto an already damp paper surface or an existing wet wash, allowing pigments to bleed, bloom, and diffuse softly with fluid transitions.
