Watercolor Basics 1: Mixing Water with Watercolor Paint
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Hi, I’m Jessica Sanders, a self-taught mixed media artist who loves exploring art and sharing it with you!
I am creating a series of ultra beginner mini classes to help you learn to paint with watercolor. The skills I teach in these classes helped to put me on the fast-track to creating vibrant, loose, beautiful watercolor paintings like a pro! And I believe they can do the same for you!
Each class is designed to teach 1 or 2 beginner skills of watercolor painting.
Let's Keep It Super Simple - KISS, baby! - short, and easy to learn!
In class 1, we will explore how to mix watercolor paint with water.
We will mix 3 consistencies of watercolor paint. We will explore how more or less water changes the flow, transparency, and value of watercolor paint.
All in less than 20 minutes!
Then it’s project time! Practice painting color swatches with at least 6 colors of paint. Choose your favorite watercolors! Really get to know your paints :) and then, share it with me and your fellow students in the Project Section.
