Yesterday, a wonderful local artist, Jami Wright, gave a demonstration at our San Diego Watercolor Society’s monthly paintout. She showed us how to use a variety of tools, sponges, scrapers, brushers, and materials, salt, mediums, splatter, and sprays, to increase the feeling of texture in a painting. I had a lot of fun using these in this plein air painting of Miramar Reservoir.

This is a 13 x 13-inch gouache plein air painting on dark paper.
