UNDERSTAND EXACTLY HOW TO PREPARE THE WATERCOLOR BACKGROUND FOR THE "WRAP AND BRIDGE" TANGLING METHOD

A solid technique showing how to create 3D shapes over watercolor

You'll be amazed at how 3-dimensional the results are!

No matter the background, the "wrap and bridge" produces SUPER 3D results

Materials and Supplies:

• Sakura Pigma Micron 01 (0.25mm) in BROWN

• Medium Gray Marker (my favorite is Copic W2 and W4)

• Regular pencil (my favorites for this project are F and 2B)

• Matching Colored pencils: brown, burgundy, dark teal or blue, other colors matching the color palette of your final picture. I use Polychromos and Prismacolor pencils.

• Watercolor pan set (I use Koi Watercolors or Kuretake Gansai Tanbi)

• White gel pen. I use Sakura Gelly Roll.

• Hot pressed Watercolor paper (I use Arches or Fabriano)

These guidelines will works every time, however, since watercolor is an intuitive process, this an INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED LESSON and is not suitable for beginners.
