How to use watercolor: still life tutorial | IN THE STUDIO

Learn how to make a watercolor painting like Georgia O’Keeffe, Paul Cézanne, and other artists in this new episode of our tutorial series IN THE STUDIO. Artist Jia Sung teaches two different techniques: “wet on wet“ for more improvisational work and a drier approach for still life painting and observational work. See how she uses tube and pan paints, different types of brushes, and looks at works in MoMA’s collection for inspiration.
