Wet (in wet) Strawberries in watercolours - a project

The latest watercolour session, we worked in the style of the famous french watercolourist Jean Claude Chaillou. He uses the wet-in-wet technique and Aquarellista Chantal has followed his workshops. She was telling us about it - and it was just the right moment for a bit of experimenting! We usually paint wet on dry style and only use wet-in-wet for backgrounds...
It was very good for our character to work differently, and not go for the result - but for the experience and doing something new. Everybody loved it although of course lot of things went wrong!. But still there were some interesting results.
We started with a strawberry, because there is a 19 minute demo-video of how Jean Claude paints that. You can check it out here. It is great to see him at work! Next week we will proceed with a wet-in-wet landscape...
I filmed my own demo too - and although it is of course a try-out by someone (me!) who is not very experienced in this technique, it is explanatory. And takes only 10 minutes 😁. Click here to see Marina's demo

And here are our Wet-in-Wet Strawberries - we hope you are not allergic!
