Julie often begins a watercolor and an oil painting in exactly the same way: with dark acrylic accents. That technique, used for watercolor and which she has recently dubbed “Watercolor in Reverse”, was the subject of her first article published in The Artist’s Magazine (1987). The same technique, used for oils, is the subject of her North Light Book just out this year, Brilliant Color: Painting Vibrant Outdoor Scenes.

The benefits of this method are numerous and enable you to get your painting “off the ground” very quickly. It’s a unique approach to both oil and watercolor (on paper or canvas) that will add considerably to your repertoire of painting techniques!

FCA will provide water miscible oils but you can use these techniques with acrylics alone.
