In this live paint-along session, we’ll be painting a peaceful lake sunset scene while focusing on one of the most important fundamentals in watercolor: controlling your pigment-to-water ratio.

In this lesson, I’ll guide you step-by-step as we explore: • How pigment strength affects value and color • Understanding tea, coffee, milk, and cream consistency • Creating intentional soft edges in skies and reflections • Using hard edges to anchor your composition • How water pigment ratio determines glow, atmosphere, and structure You’ll learn how soft and hard edges work together with proper pigment control to create a convincing sunset with optical scatter, depth, light, and mood.
