About This Lesson
There is nothing looser that watercolor paint flowing free on wet paper.
This lesson uses only two basic watercolor painting techniques – wet-in-wet and dry-in-wet. Combined in a particular way, allowed freedom and handled with skill, these two techniques can produce powerful, expressive paintings.
Loose, flowing washes are a unique characteristic of transparent watercolor. It is impossible to obtain in any other medium. Watercolor painters desire this effect in their work but often find it difficult to “let go”.
This lesson will help.
What you’ll need:
- Brushes – Large, Medium and Small Rounds
- Colors – Cadmium Yellow, Cadmium Red, Cobalt Blue, Ultramarine Blue
- Watercolor paper – preferably Arches 140lb ROUGH cut to about 7″ x 10″ or so
