Have you ever gotten frustrated with weird unpredictable textures showing up in your watercolor paintings?
Do you sometimes feel like you’re missing an unnameable ‘something’ when it comes to working with watercolor?
In this class, you’ll learn what I believe to be the most important element in your watercolor practice: understanding how your WATER works — how it moves, how it dries, how pigments move within the water, andwhat the sheen of your paper can tell you about where your water is at in the drying process.
We’ll dig into all those details, all the while strengthening your hands-on understanding of these important principles while creating beautiful moody washes, with soft edges and gradients.
Learning to make moody washes was the first step in allowing me to create beautiful dreamy illustrations that felt like a real accomplishment in my watercolor journey. It allowed me to unlock the mystery of watercolor, the part of it that I was trying to learn intuitively but that somehow always felt outside of my grasp.
Let’s dig into this beautiful adventure with colorful washes, little mechanical fish, paper boats, rain, rivers, and our faithful paints and brushes. 🙂
