Watercolour painting isn’t easy.
The challenge lies in capturing a subject on paper in a short space of time, showing the viewer what we have seen and felt was worth painting.
Simplifying watercolour painting starts with the equipment.
I recommend 9 colours, 2–3 brushes and a special sketchpad, and I’ll help you develop the awareness and painting technique that will enable you to achieve remarkable results in a short space of time.
I’ll show you how to paint large areas using large flat brushes, how mixing colours on the paper brings these areas to life, and how the subject emerges through the deliberate use of accents on barely defined areas of colour.
You’ll learn why contrasts are more important than colours and how to paint pictures with brilliant colours. I’ll show you what can be simplified and how you can still manage to paint an expressive picture in a short space of time, without getting lost in details and exhaustingly long work.
