"Sunflower Glow" – A Watercolor Demonstration on Aquabord with Transparent Layering In this engaging watercolor demonstration, Katherine brings a sunflower to life on aquabord using the luminous technique of transparent layering. She begins by building rich shadows with staining transparent colors, gradually adding depth and vibrancy. Along the way, she highlights the unique qualities of aquabord, the advantages of transparent pigments, and how to craft a compelling color story using a limited palette. |
