Edge Control in Wet on Dry Watercolor
Here’s a demonstration of something I call I call ‘edge pulling’, which I feel is pretty much directly drawing with the brush. I often do this with a light pencil drawing as a guide, but you can also go right in with the color, as I’ve done with much of the work in my third book “Direct Watercolor”. Enjoy! ~Marc

Hope you find this interesting, and thanks for watching! ~m
