Painting a background is a complex process of the overall watercolor. Study and experiment with various backgrounds that will enhance a painting from light to dark rich colors.
Fritz Raiser is dedicated to transparent watercolor and has won over 70 awards for his paintings and multiple awards at the Adirondacks National Exhibition of Watercolors.
