Paint a Watercolor Rose - Watercolor Painting for Beginners

Paint a Watercolor Rose - Watercolor Painting for Beginners

**UPDATED JULY 2017**

This course is designed for students who want to learn how to paint bold, glowing watercolor paintings.

I will show you step-by-step how I achieve deep, vibrant colors through glazing, as well as various other techniques including scrubbing and lifting, color mixing, visual harmony, and achieving realistic colors.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Use the right color combinations to make your subject stand out.
• Create a quick and richly colored background without masking.
• Glaze multiple layers of colors to create a rich and realistic effect.
• Effectively "paint" with plain water.
• Mix your own luminous grays, greens, and oranges (notoriously tricky to get right!)
• Fix minor problems such as blooms easily.
• Glaze and lift repeatedly until you are satisfied with the resulting color.

I will paint a yellow rose from start to finish in 13 video lessons, and will provide you with a list of recommended materials, PLUS a printable outline of this rose AND the original reference photo you may print out so you can easily follow along.

The concepts I teach can be applied to anything--landscapes, still-life, figures--whatever your preferred painting subject, these techniques can improve your paintings.

This course can be taken by anyone interested in watercolor painting, from beginner to expert, however, if you want to learn how to paint a quick, loose watercolor, then this course is not for you: My methods require patience and multiple steps to achieve this glowing effect.

If you find this is not the course for you, I offer a 30-day money back guarantee, no questions asked.

This painting class contains videos of me doing the actual painting and I break down the process simply and easily. At the end is a video recap of each lesson with the techniques and colors used, for easy and quick reference.
