Watercolor Basics 3: Painting Wet on Wet & Wet on Dry

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. I want to Keep It Super Simple - KISS, baby! - short, and easy to learn!

Watercolor Basics 3: Painting Wet on Wet & Wet on Dry

In class 3, we will explore wet on wet, and wet on dry washes - the most basic techniques in watercolor.  I will demonstrate both wash techniques, and then we will learn how to use them.  We will explore how our paint moves differently, achieving different results, just because of the type of wash we choose. All in less than 15 minutes :)

Then it’s project time! Fill a sketchbook page with washes. Explore wet on dry, and wet on wet.  Take the time to slow down and really observe what is happening with your paints.
