Geoff Allen gave a fantastic demo on his approach to watercolors. It was very educational to see the stages of his technique. Starting with a loose pencil sketch, Geoff layed in a series of light washes and color accents. He then let this dry during a break and a little bit use of a hairdryer. Then after a break he put down darker passages of color defining the lights and shadows of the composition. Washes, splatters, scoring and scraping, different brushes for different effects like a splayed and irregular brush for things like foliage, or very fine liner brushes for fine tune shapes and details
