When teaching my 5th grade class watercolors for their landscape project, I always do one with them. As we go along, I point out places where I have used a certain technique or how I resolved a problem I incurred along the way. This come from a photograph in the Our State magazine but I cannot find the photographer's name at the moment.

Title or Location: Woodland pool
This work was created using a ? spontaneous watercolour? technique. The first layer of colour was applied randomly wet on wet. The paint created the framework for the scene, which I enhanced with detailing. I love the way watercolours can paint themselves, almost as if the scene was just waiting to be revealed and I just uncovered it.
