Description
This is a simple course for the beginner or someone with little experience to show how adding watercolour to a drawing will improve the final painting considerably
In this course I will show you how to sketch an impression of the chosen subject which will, with practice, evolve into a style completely your own. I will then show you how to add a watercolour wash in a way that will brighten and invigorate the drawing, resulting in a sketch of which to be proud.
I have included downloads of some of the pictures I am going to show you and you will be able to create your own copy alongside me.
My intention is to show that with just three colours, one brush and a sketch book you will be able to take these anywhere and achieve a successful impression of any subject you choose.
The paintings I have shown are of Cornwall, the Cotswolds and a National Trust house in Wiltshire.
I hope that after you have completed this course you will be inspired to continue your artistic endeavours and to continue to challenge yourself.
The resources provided for this course consist of a list of materials required; a list of the watercolours required; a recommended list of brushes; drawing showing perspective; a colour wheel and a drawing to show the methodology for copying a drawing in readiness for painting.
You are encouraged to forward any questions or queries that you may have with the course.
You will be able to continue learning this medium through my other courses, as they become available on Udemy.
I now have a course on painting boats; pencil drawing; and watercolour painting all available now.
I have just uploaded a further lesson in this course showing a house in Lacock, Wiltshire, where the emphasis is on drawing with a colour wash
