Glazing and Charging are tried and true watercolor techniques that sometimes get forgotten. Painting with these alone and in combination can produce very exciting and dramatic results. Also, what is watercolor underpainting? Glazing is the application of a transparent wash over a dry layer to enrich color, deepen values, or unify a painting. Charging involves dropping fresh pigment into a wet wash, allowing colors to flow and blend naturally for vibrant, spontaneous effects. Join Joe Cibere to learn these exciting techniques and become the Master of Your Universe!

About Joe Cibere    
Joe Cibere is a signature member of the National Watercolor Society, and his painting style demonstrates his love of nature and wilderness. His "abstract realism" paintings integrate strong design and balance with a sense of illusion, and have appeared in "Watercolor Artist Magazine," "Artists Magazine," "Best of Acrylic," "Splash 23," and in the International Artists book "The Watercolor Sky and Cloud Techniques of 23 International Artists." His work is also part of both corporate and private collections. His studio is at Studio Channel Islands, Room R5 in Old Town Camarillo, California.

He's been working on more impressionistic landscapes lately, using non-traditional water media methods for creating what he calls "imaginaries," landscapes that don't really exist and are more conceptual in nature.

To know when he's done with a painting, he has three guides. Does it look good in black and white/greyscale? Does it look good flipped, reversed, and rotated? And is there enough left for the viewer to finish the painting? All goes back to knowing how to start and when to finish your vision.
