Class description
Anyone who starts with watercolor on their own quickly gets the status “Hmm, my picture looks kind of like coloring with paint” — but watercolor is a great technique for using the beautiful structures to create loose pictures.
In this online painting course for beginners, I will teach you all the important techniques of watercolor painting and what to consider.
What is the process?
- After registration, you will receive your access link to the ZOOM meeting, which you can simply open it punctually at the start of the event via the browser
- It would be great if you could participate with your own webcam (or camera from a tablet or mobile phone), because then I can take a look at your work in between and help you if necessary
- The course is being recorded, 1-2 days after the course I will send you the link so that you can repeat all tips and tricks again afterwards
Who is the course for?
- For anyone interested in watercolor painting
- Advanced and beginners are welcome to join me
What is included?
You'll learn:
- Wet in wet technology
- Water control on paper and brush
- Provoking structures
- Wet on dry — technology
- A few little tricks from the design
Please bring along:
- watercolor paper. A cheap, good version is the Canson XL Aquarelle (light blue block). However, the expensive version is worth every euro and a paper made from 100% cotton, for example from Hahnemühle or Windsor and Newton. I personally prefer the satined papers (very smooth) — make sure that your paper is “cold pressed” or “cold pressed”, they stay wet longer and we have the option to model the colors longer.
- Watercolor brush, I always use the KAZALON series
- Watercolor paint, I use various artist-quality brands (highly pigmented). However, an academic-quality starter kit is completely sufficient to start with, you can get more and better colors over time.
- A tube of opaque white or white gouache paint
I'm already looking forward to meeting you at my virtual watercolor course.
