WANT TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR WATERCOLOUR WASHES?

We often reach a point in our progression as watercolour painters where our work seems flat and it fails to capture what we want to express about the landscape.There may be several reasons for this, but one of the most common reasons is that our watercolour washes are boring and lack interest. In this video I show you how to vary your brushstrokes and introduce you to a method of painting that I call ‘Painting in Threes,’ with exercises that will help to give your paintings strong visual interest.

This is the final video in a series of six for those beginning their watercolour journey. The other videos in the series are:

1) What is Watercolour

2) Watercolour Equipment

3) Watercolour Washes

4) Mixing Your Watercolours

5) Painting a Watercolour Landscape

The equipment that I use in my watercolour videos is listed on my website:
