Beyond the Surface: Blending Classical Watercolor with Acrylic Layering

René will demonstrate how she prepares watercolor paper and wood cradled panels for watercolor painting, while sharing the reasoning behind her unconventional process and material choices. Using a vibrant rooster as the demo subject, she will explore ways of layering transparent watercolor over textured surfaces to create paintings with depth, energy, and visual intrigue. Along the way, René will discuss experimentation, surface preparation, color harmony, and how mixed media approaches can expand the expressive possibilities of watercolor.
