I like to do my own thing with watercolors, but every so often it's good to step out of the box and try some other artists style.  My recent read are two books.  One is by Jeanne Corbonette's  "The You of watercolor"  and the other by Jan Fabian Wallake's "Watercolor Pour it On".  Both artists use intense colors of washes which are poured on with analogous colors blending along naturally by tilting your board or directing a wash to be used for technique and for later use for details.. The Too and the Flow"  uses layerd glazes to create depth and transparancy.  The one of a kind washes make interesting unplanned placements of the subject.  Mistakes are made but sometimes you just have to go with the flow.
