Techniques for days 28 to 30

Instead of a technique challenge for each day there will be links to technique videos on a particular tool or media for you to choose from over a few days.

For the next few days we will be looking at water-based media.

Watercolour paints, pencils and crayons









There are many more videos on YouTube than I have used here.  If you find a good one please leave a link to it in the comments section.   Thanks.
