The paper is just drawing so I can take some fellow. Whip it in there. Come across. Look at that. And because it's quite a spread a little bit, just taking little tiny bits to say oh, I'm going to put a little bit down here too and darken up this edge and one right through here. I don't want to get my rocks too dark.

But look at that beautiful claimer brush now and do the next part which is to add a darker fellow in here. Kind of get those black lines. Look how it spreads because the papers wet. I can get some tree shapes in there. Maybe one more here. You're afraid it's going to dry lighter.

Okay, now see how this is moving up. I can take the end of my brush gently just by pushing down a little bit, especially on those dark marks. I can add some tree tops, not hard, just gently. gonna have a little dark, a little bit of a lizard and Crimson into the bottom here. darken it up, especially around the rock. See how the rocks really showing up.

Now remember these are all going to dry, lighter. Thinking of light and dark here. Just adding little bits of paper lengthwise lines for reflections and vertical lines. Wow, that's looking good. Now this tree looks pretty close. And that's probably because of the ink.

So what I think I will do is I will switch to my little brush and I'm going to mix up a little bit of a fee fail Hello. quite strong. Remember the papers well So, and a little bit of the red and I should get a fairly dark color in here. Let me move it closer you can really see what I'm going to do. I'm going to bring this in behind the rock. And right up to it.

I'm going to add a few dark spots over here to brings this little tree form to look like it's right behind the rock but not sitting on top of it. And that's where I'll darken these little boys here. little brush comes in handy. Maybe a couple of these. Like this tree is not on top of this rock and growing out of it. Nice now one more dark line.

Here. So now I'm establishing my darks. And I think I'm just about done this picture, a couple of little dark accents in the water here. There getting dry. So let me let it dry. Come back lift few areas, throw in a few finishing details.

So far, wet, dry. Watch. I'm watching because I went to paper and I was very conscious of drying the paper drying, no hard edges here except for the rock, but it is kind of a misty day. So we didn't do too much dry. But we did lots of watching I can see some white areas coming through here. So I might take a brush, just a little pinch of the blue, very light very hardly any.

What I'm going to do is on the dry paper, bring down a little bit of a beam, a light beam into the water. Now the edge is hard here. So what do I do? I clean off my brush and soften the edge. Now I've got this light section coming down here. I think I'll do it over here too.

Just gonna bring it right down a little bit here. See how that works. Creates reflections. I might take a little darker here with this tree. darkened it a bit more got a little rock coming out here. See that little rock didn't even see that rock.

So wherever it's dark I put a little dark reflection. Straight down. There we go. Last but not least, because this is a razor blade, I can pick out all that sweat. I think I better let it dry for a little bit on never razor blade on wet paper. Wait till it's dry, wet dry and watch.

Course you can always use a hairdryer. It does speed up everything. Just remember guys for the back if it's not yours when you're finished. Okay, that's going to be dry and we're going to use our razor blade Okay, here's the razor blade and what I'm going to do is nip off or Nick off a few little white highlights. Especially in the water here. It was a really just going one direction.

If I was going to do this picture, say a few times, see I liked it, I want to do a series. probably leave a little more white paper next time. Now I like to add a little bit of weight here. Just where the rocks meet the water that maybe a little bit up here around the distant shore, just sort of put it in, flick it. You can't do this with cheap paper. It has to be good paper.

Little White flicks barely perceptible. But they do add a little sparkle to your watercolor and sparkle is important. There. I think that's finished. Let's take off the tape. So when you're taking your tape off, make sure that you pull it out away from the paper.

See, always going away from the paper. Leave that one off for the next one. There we go. Take my razor blade, and then just hold the blade you can use scissors If you want so there's our little picture. That's our first one. Learning about wet and dry and watch
