This past week I started reading Charles Reid's(1937-2019) most recent book, Watercolor Basics: Learn to Solve the Most Common Painting Problems. Reid was a noted watercolor painter with a long career.
As we honker down with this long home stay, due to COVID-19, I figure it is a great time to absorb any information or technique from Reid's decades of painting.
In this book there is a section just on brush strokes with proper technique. Above I practiced some of these approaches, whether it is painting with the belly of the brush or rolling the brush as you work your way across the paper.
It is a good practice to keep working on the fundamentals from time to time. Or at least that is what I find. It helps to broaden your perspective. Overall, it is amazing the range of marks you can make with a brush or even without one.
