In this course, you will learn how to use wash techniques having a control on random brush strokes to build up a composition with overlapped layers of watercolor.
Through this course, you will learn marking and resisting techniques in order to create divers and interesting effects preparing the firs layers. To proceed the painting to the next steps, you will be covering and manipulating the first layers applying wash techniques completing the work.
In this course, through 8 practices, you will learn how to create dramatic effects of marks, lines, and washes applying Inks and watercolor in order to reveal your personal language. Nip-pen is a perfect tool to create variety of lines and gestures mostly charge with water. Through this approach you prevent the line from looking too stiff taking advantages of ink that bleeds from the lines, and then apply more color and tones very quickly to complete the painting.
In this course, in addition to practice on advance watercolor pencils techniques, you will be encouraged to develop unique effects from an idea / a theme. Throughout sketching as well as exploring a proper technique, you will be able to convey the theme in painting.
Watercolor is the most convenient painting media to work with. It has the range and adaptability for almost any kind of painting, situation, or style. The main power of watercolor is transparency, which make it possible to read the painting. To cover all aspects of this fabulous medium, I have organized watercolor techniques and methods into four separate courses, from basics to advance.
In this course, you will learn how to use color wash techniques having a control on random brush strokes to build up a composition with overlapped layers of watercolor. The color wash is not specific to watercolor only.
Many artists use this method at the very first stage in the development of their practical knowledge of painting. It is an excellent starting point to transform a simple drawing by adding of couple of colors into the complete painting. It is important for beginners to realize that if they start in this way and follow the basic guidelines, they can achieve a surprising degree of expertise in a relatively short time.

In the first half the course, you will be creating marks, applying watercolor using cardboard, sponge, gum, and blotting paper to experience different ways of creating effects combining them with the traditional wash techniques. In the second half of the course, you will be applying some of the main scratching and resisting techniques such as masking, taping, and waxing.
All the techniques will give you the ability to create an atmosphere in two main areas of painting: reality and abstraction. You will be focusing on the study of form, light, and tonal harmony in nature referring to photography, using graphite and charcoal. These studies will encourage you to paint with watercolor applying techniques and methods of your own for controlling and manipulating the way you apply the paint.

Following the lessons, you supposed to complete each painting applying mediums over heavy bases such as illustration board or 600 gm hot press watercolor paper. Those bases give you appropriate surfaces overlapping and manipulating different mediums in companion with watercolor pencil.
Watercolor pencil is one of the best tools for creating beautiful wash effects working on details as well as manipulating textures, effects, and forms. To some extent, trough watercolor pencil techniques you are able to combine drawing and painting together. You can dip pencils in water creating stunning marks, or apply them dry like a standard pencil.
