Watercolor Painting by Dennis Pendleton. I just returned to Denver from my workshop in Southern France sponsored by the Art Students League of Denver and this is the demonstration I did on the first day. We talked about vignettes and how the colors bleed out before they reach the borders of the watercolor paper. The idea is to make an interesting composition with the edges of the paint and the negative shapes. I painted on my 6 x 9 inch Hahnemuhle sketchbook with toned paper
