With your host John
Join professional artist Vlad as he takes watercolour layering to the next level and walks you through the painting of a scene from Prague. A 2-3 hour workshop, broadcast live from Florida on 18 Nov 2021.
See reference and recommended materials below:
Vlad will expand on the the method of three layering stages in watercolour focusing on each stage's important values in this complete painting, step by step. You will learn brushwork technique most appropriate to each stage and how to control the edges in watercolour. You will look at consistency of watercolour mixes for each stage: amount of water, pigments and methods of application and the finishing touches and unifying washes.
