Line and wash is a watercolour technique that combines a line drawing with a watercolour painting. Since a lot of the structure of the painting is established by the line drawing itself, often all that is needed from the paint is a little wash of colour - hence the name, line and wash.    

Painting on rough watercolor paper has many advantages.   This is especially true of motifs such as landscapes .   As you can see in this picture, I used a lot of dry brush technique . With just a few strokes, I got the effect of a cornfield.   As you go further into the picture use more water and paint to fill all the valleys in the paper. Because we don't want to see details in the distance.
