Painting Workshops with techniques to paint a
complete watercolor
painting in less than one hour.
My
watercolor workshops are
focused on painting quickly before the
watercolor paper dries.
This makes your painting fresh and
transparent.
It also means you don't have to
spend days, weeks or even months to complete a painting. With these
techniques you'll be painting great
Landscapes, Seascapes and Abstracts in less than an hour.
All my
watercolor paintings are completed in
less than an hour.
Attend one of my watercolor workshops and learn how to paint a beautiful watercolor painting in
less than an hour.
Tip 1 - Always get the paper as wet as you can before you begin applying watercolor paints. Depending on your environment you may only have 7 minutes before the paper starts to dry. Tip 2 - Don't dilute your paint to the point of liquid. For painting the beach, the foreground trees and bushes you want your paint to be like toothpaste. This will give you a little more control over the wet in wet process also. Tip 3 - Paint from wet to dry, from large shapes to small shapes, and from light values to dark values. All this is done while the painting is drying in the first 7 minutes and also as you apply additional watercolor washes or details. Tip 4 - Use larger brushes such as 3 inch, 2 inch and 1 1/2 inch flat brushes. Tip 5 - Don't try applying the paint uniformly as this is not always pleasing to the viewer. Instead add some variety in your brush strokes, the paint mixture, the size of shapes, the value of shapes, the number of shapes. "Variety is the spice of everything nice" Roy John Fuller 2001. Tip 6 - Apply paint with your brush quickly. Don't stay in one spot going back and forth, move around the paper in light, sweeping strokes and changing your direction continuously. It's the variety in your brush strokes you want to focus on. Always use variety in you painting from the design to the completion. Always paint trees different heights, width, texture, values and colors. The same goes for rocks, mountains, people, clouds and everything else. Tip - 7 I always do best when I paint on a slight angle. You can experiment slanting your board upward off a flat table by placing a book, etc. under the outside edge. I usually paint with my backboard in the vertical position so my students can see better.
