Interview with Roland Lee - 1996

This painting of Peaceful River was done as a demonstration in a recent two-day watercolor workshop. The class was focused on achieving the effects of moving water. In addition this painting demonstrates how to use the technique of negative painting or what I call back-painting to describe foliage. Follow the steps below to see how to do it.
