More Info on Wash Techniques

Please tell me more about the wash technique. I love the paintings of Robert Tilling, but nowhere on the internet is any information of how he does this.

I am sure you know what he really does because you are experienced. What paper is he using? Is the paper wet or dry? How did he do that white line above the horizon sometimes? How does he tilt the board? Sideways? I have tried this but its all just a disaster! And important: what is the colour combination that works well in washes like this?

I am in South Africa and have nobody in my town to teach me, so I rely on my watercolor books and the internet. Your website is most useful!
