How to paint watercolour wet-on-wet, control the water, mix paints and feel this magic of creating beautiful landscape
This workshop is about painting with watercolor wet-on-wet.
We will together paint the beautiful sunset landscape with a dazzling, eye-popping sun and the sea and learn main principles of watercolor - about the control of the water, about the layers and the washes, we will pay attention to the the principle of choosing colours and the practical way to search the best possible mixes, and also how to finalise the painting with just a little amount of details.
This workshop is not for total beginners in watercolor, it’s more about the way of artist thinking and the decisions, concerning colours and washes, made in process.
Hope you will enjoy painting with me and of course have fun!
