Welcome to the third lesson. 

Watercolour is such a simple medium in theory, just add water to your paint and brush it onto the paper. The paper can be wet or dry, your paint can be thick or thin, so there are only four possible combinations to make up our basic techniques.

Of course you have been using watercolour in the first two lessons and no doubt you will have quickly realised that the quality of the edges makes a huge difference to whether your paintings are full of movement and interest or look static and 'cut out'

This lesson concentrates on technique and edges and shows how combining them creates the feeling of flight in an elegant Canada goose.

By the end of the lesson, you should be able to paint hard and soft edges to create the focus and effect you want.
