John teaches a simple system for accurately transferring his complex image to watercolor paper. He lays a foundation with careful masking and vivid washes of hard-to-define colors. He concentrates on value relationships as he fills his landscape with shimmering streets and glowing neon. He uses mesmerizing reflective effects as an entry point to the composition and directs attention with white paper. John tones down conflicting passages with a mouth atomizer. He continually solves design problems, modifying colors in his foreground figure and lifting to enhance lines. The workshop includes exercises in perspective drawing and extensive discussions of design and reference photography.

#1 Richard Mercer 2010-06-16 01:03 I love John's paintings and this video teaches a lot of his techniques. John continually explains everything he is doing as he is painting including his thought processes as he is working. He shows the reference photos as well as his palette as he works. I would highly recommend this video if you want to learn how John paints.
