Hi, I’m Darren Yeo, Watercolor Artist from Melbourne, Victoria. Welcome to “Loose Watercolor Painting Essentials”.
In this course, you’ll learn and apply concepts of depth, composition, layering, and perspective as well as essential watercolor techniques in order to create a beautiful painting. In addition to theory and practical exercises, there are also 11 included projects that we will complete together. I’ll walk you through in real-time the techniques I’m using such as wet-in-wet and wet-in-dry. I’ll also show you how to simplify and sketch any scene in pencil.
This course is aimed at beginners and intermediate painters. There are scans, drawing, and tracing templates included for each project to help you transfer your drawing over quickly and easily.
In this course, I narrate my demonstrations in real time. I explain every technique I use in the context of the painting, such as layering into wet areas to paint shadows of a tree or building. I’ll be going over the essentials of layering wet-in-wet and wet-in-dry watercolor. I’ll talk about what materials you’ll need, and which ones I use and recommend. If you have some brushes, watercolor paints, and paper, then you’re set to go.
So join me in this course – let’s create some beautiful watercolor paintings that you can be proud of!
