Hello, I'm Darren Yeo, a watercolour artist and teacher based in Melbourne, Australia. I am the founder of one of the largest watercolour learning communities, "Watercolour Mentor".

Welcome to Ultimate Line And Wash: Techniques And Landscapes. Line and wash was one of my first introductions to watercolor. It combines the benefits of both mediums and it is a great way to learn the basics of drawing and painting. There were so many things that I wish someone had walked me through when I started learning pen drawing and watercolors. I want to share these essential tips and skills with you so that by the end of this course, I promise you’ll be able to show off some beautiful line and wash illustrations to your friends and family!
This course is aimed towards beginners with 12 classic line and wash demonstrations which I’ll help guide you through step-by-step. There are drawing and tracing templates included as well for each demonstration to help you transfer your drawing over quickly and easily.
I take a different approach from other instructors by narrating my demonstrations in real-time. I explain every technique I use in the context of the painting. Some landscapes featured in this class are; Venice, Burano, a Paris Street Scene, a London Street Scene, and the Charles Bridge in Prague.Â
In this beginner’s class, I’ll be going over all the basics of pen and wash sketching. I’ll talk about what materials you’ll need, your options, and which ones I use and recommend. If you have a pen, some watercolor paints, and paper, then you’re pretty much ready to go. I’ll show you how to sketch with a pen quickly and accurately using a variety of techniques including drawing lines in segments, hatching, and using different sized nibs to your advantage. I also demonstrate essential watercolor techniques you can use over and over again for any painting. And don’t forget, there are 12 narrated painting demonstrations of some classic landscapes included.
Note: All reference images, original paintings, and simplified stencils are included under the ‘Materials Required’ lecture of this course.
So join me in this course – I’m excited to get started and to show you how easy it is to create your own beautiful paintings that you can be proud of!
