Demo Description
Sean will demonstrate some of his mixed-media and watercolor techniques on large paper. Sean has been working with Holbein Watercolor since 1978. During the demo, Sean will use some of Holbein’s 24 new granulating colors. He will also introduce some of Holbein’s 12 new luminous colors into the painting.
Last year Holbein added 48 new colors to their Artists’ Gouache line for a total now of 137 colors! Sean will be sure to show you some of these new colors and work those into the painting as well. Sean loves the Holbein Gouache because they never use whitening agents and thus avoid milky, muddy overtones to the colors.
