Exercises in
water-based
media
Only through practice will you master water-based pigments. But, once you
are skilled in water media, mastering oils and acrylics should be easy.
Prepare a work area with plenty of clean water and practice grade paper.
Practice laying brush strokes of varying widths. Imitate surface texture with
your brush. Lay a flat and graded wash. Set similar and widely differing
tones side-by-side and develop your technique for wet and dry brush
blending.
