What You’ll Learn From This Course

• Layering and Glazing:
  – Watercolor is translucent, allowing you to build up layers of color.
  – Start with light washes and gradually add more intense colors.
  – Glazing involves applying transparent layers of color on top of dried layers to create depth and richness.
• Dry Brush Technique:
  – Use a relatively dry brush with less water and more concentrated paint to create texture and detail.
  – This technique is effective for rendering foliage, tree branches, and other textured surfaces.
• Color Mixing:
  – Watercolor paints can be mixed on the palette or directly on the paper.
  – Experiment with primary colors (red, yellow, blue) to create a wide range of secondary and tertiary colors.
  – Remember that watercolor dries lighter, so test your colors on scrap paper before applying them.
• Practice and Experiment:
  – Watercolor can be unpredictable, so don’t be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them.
  – Experiment with different techniques, brushstrokes, and color combinations to develop your style.
