Knowing When to Stop: The Art of Completing a Watercolor Painting

Hello, I'm Lynda Norman, and welcome back to my channel. Today, I'm excited to share with you a conversation with Roger Lee from Art Framer, where we delve into one of the most intriguing aspects of painting: knowing when a piece is finished.
Join us as we explore the factors that influence the completion of a watercolor painting. I discuss how my daily schedule and life as a mom and grandma affect my painting process, leading to quick and simple techniques that result in beautiful, one-of-a-kind artworks. Learn about the importance of choosing the right materials, from the paints to the paper, and how they impact the final outcome.
Discover how I assess my paintings for completion, using a combination of stepping back, taking photos, and reassessing with fresh eyes. I also share insights into the role of highlights, the challenge of working on canvas versus paper, and the significance of sealing my paintings to protect them.
Thank you for joining me in this artistic journey. I hope this video provides valuable insights into the decision-making process behind completing a watercolor painting.
