Welcome to exploring watercolor grounds!
Have you tried watercolor grounds before? They are so much fun, and I have been experimenting again and want to share what I’ve learned!
I’m excited to share this course with you, it’s going to be a lot of fun and I think it will really give you a number of new tools to add to your watercolor toolbox.
In today’s course, we will focus on a few substrates that you can use watercolor grounds on, how to apply them, and we’ll be doing a beautiful colorful rock project plus sealing it with resin for an underwater look.
This class is for any level student, I will demonstrate, in real-time, how to paint a wonderful, whimsical, rock painting over watercolor grounds using watercolor and gouache. This class is not a realistic class. The approach is loose, impressionistic, and whimsical.
I will walk you through the entire process – from a quick, loose sketch to creating a painting with depth and interest – and all the steps in between.
Most of all, our focus is on relaxing, staying loose, and enjoying the painting process.
In this class you will learn:
How to prep your substrates with watercolor grounds!
Learn about 5 different ways to use your watercolor grounds on different substrates.
How to use wet in wet watercolor techniques for layering and creating results.
