No More Flat Paintings: Master Value and Contrast in Watercolor

Welcome to my class: No More Flat Paintings: Master Value and Contrast in Watercolor

In this class, we'll learn how to master value and contrast in your paintings to take your watercolor art to the next level. We start off by understanding the basics of tonal values and contrast and how to create a value thumbnail sketch. Then we’ll look at a variety of helpful watercolor techniques for creating gradients and transitions and how to incorporate tonal value with color.

We’ll also do some practical exercises on how to paint landscape elements with dimension then dive in to painting our class project. 

For our class project, I will walk you thru a step by step painting tutorial of this beautiful and quiet meadow where you'll have a deeper understanding of tonal values and the skills to infuse depth and impressionism into your watercolor paintings.
