Using approximately 160 gbs of 4K video clips to create this demo. Tom takes a look at improving his photographic reference to define details and shapes back in the shadows. Working in the traditional transparent watercolor method we discuss the reasons for such an approach. Also the do's and don'ts of enlarging your paintings to a much greater size. Finally retouching a razor cut in the illustration board that produced a darker line on the painting. Handle your traditional watercolor painting materials with great care!

Tom Gallovich is a traditional/digital artist and photographer specializing in wildlife and nature.
