Sorry about the delayed
delivery of this newsletter, but I have held it up to coincide with the
launch of a new series of 10 minute DVD demonstrations. This is an
exciting venture in collaboration with International Artist Magazine. We
will be releasing three new titles each month. Each DVD contains a
complete project and will cost just $7.50 US.
Happy Painting,
John

TECHNIQUE
DEMONSTRATION
COLOUR MIXING QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Hi John,
I would like to suggest a lesson that seems to be missing in all of
your materials (so far as I have read). Perhaps it is so basic in your
mind, you feel it's not worth the time to demonstrate?
A lesson on the physical act of mixing paints would be very helpful
(and I suspect an important component of overall technique). Do you
actually blend the pure colors before adding water ... or do you
squeeze out small amounts of color next to one another on a pallet,
then pull the amount of color you want toward a common area with a
brush? Is the brush itself wet or dry when you are blending colors
.... or, do you blend the colors with a tool other than a brush? Are
their in fact many ways of mixing complex colors? etc., etc., etc.

This is part of a letter I received from a
student just starting to paint with watercolour. It is easy to overlook such
basic, fundamental skills, so in this newsletter we will focus on expanding
on the process and subtlety of mixing colours and applying them to your
paper.
