Watercolor Painting for Beginners

Description

Watercolor painting is taught from materials upward in these fourteen PDF lessons. You start with materials, color theory and mixing, basic washes and essential techniques, then paint your first simple pieces.

Further lessons cover wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry methods, preserving whites and lifting color, and painting natural forms and simple landscapes. Later lessons deal with developing a personal style, texture and effects, building a portfolio and troubleshooting common issues. Exercises appear in most lessons, and the course ends with a final project. The lessons assume no earlier painting experience and are arranged so that each new technique builds on the washes and mixing covered before it.

Who it is for: beginners who want to learn watercolor techniques step by step.
