Did you know that Jon Crane uses a technique called "Dry Brush" to complete his watercolor paintings?
Dry brushing is a method where a damp, well-blotted brush is dragged lightly across textured watercolor paper, depositing pigment only on the raised areas while leaving the valleys untouched. This produces marks that add depth and texture to the painting, often referred to as “dry-on-dry” or “drybrushing.”
The painting featured is "Sylvan Sunrise." The prints are available at our gallery in Hill City and on our website.
