This is my 12th video in my beginner watercolor painting series.
In this episode we paint a lovely sunset over a lagoon scene. I focus on teaching you how to mix the right consistency paint, to place at the right place, with the right brush, on paper which is at the right wetness. Well, I get you on your journey at least.
As in all of this series up till now, colors are limited to just three - Winsor Blue (Red Shade), Permanent Rose, and Winsor Lemon. All are Winsor and Newton colors. Only two brushes are used - size 8 and size 12. Also painting size is limited to just 11" x 7.5". These constraints are to keep costs down while the student decides if watercolor is for them. If they do decide to continue then the number of colors and brushes will be increased in future more advanced videos.
If you are a beginner, and this is the first of my videos in this series you are watching, then I highly recommend that you go back and begin at Watercolor Class One and do the exercises in each. These exercises are what I used to put my beginner face-to-face students through, before allowing them to progress to more advanced subjects. Even now, before a student, new to watercolor, can join my online class they have to first prove they have studied and applied this beginner lessons. In this way, new students are able to more easily join my more advanced classes.
I also have a couple of watercolor painting books which I published and distribute through Amazon.
The first one, which has sold almost 10,000 copies is bascially my teaching manual and is titled:
Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide: https://amzn.to/3D06si5
The second is full of step by step demonstrations and is titled: Watercolor Step By Step: https://amzn.to/3z4YXEu
Both books are available in kindle format and paperback.
