Watercolor is perfect for pouring!  The colors blend in beautiful, spontaneous ways and the use of layering to build up values creates unique and interesting results. Pouring is the technique of mixing watercolor pigments into a solution wet enough to pour, squirt or even spray onto your paper, with the minimum intrusion of a brush. This demonstration will show numerous tricks and tips for successful and creative use of pouring in your art.
