Having a variety of approaches when deciding how to execute a painting keeps my watercolor world more fun and inventive. This demonstration will show how using fine, permanent archival black markers on aquaboard allows for a faster, bolder and looser approach, resulting in a finished product that is also easy to frame outside of traditional glass and mat. Always keep in mind that not all open shows allow for a wide variety of techniques, so always read your prospectus!!!
