Simply Painting: Introduction to Watercolors & Paint Box

Irish artist Frank Clarke teaches viewers the basics of watercolor painting, and also discusses each section of the canvas and the function of the paint box in this episode of his popular PBS series, “Simply Painting.” Clarke makes art easy by using his HSMF formula, which divides the canvas into four sections: horizon, sky, middle and foreground. Instruction takes place both in the studio and outdoors, as you learn to paint a variety of images.
