Watercolor Painting - Venice Pen and Ink Travel Sketching (Part 2)

This Watercolour Line and Wash course is designed for Beginners to Intermediate learners with a desire to learn the essentials of Line and Wash Watercolours. This class focuses more on drawing and painting buildings, water and street scenes.

This class is the second part of a series of Venice themed travel sketching classes, where you will learn how to draw and paint some beautiful Venice landscapes. Join me on a virtual sketching trip of Venice! Buildings drawn/painted in this class are of a higher complexity, and is an excellent challenge for beginners to understand perspective and simplification of a subject.

In this class, I will show you the FUN and EASY way to enter into the world of watercolours, and turn your holiday photographs or any reference picture into simple, yet beautiful paintings. By the end of this course, you will have a firm understanding of the processes and techniques of turning any photograph into a pen and wash painting!

This class is split into two main parts; 'Drawing Lessons 1-2' - Turning a photograph into a sketch, and 'Painting Lessons 1-6' - using watercolours to add colour and value. I will walk you through how to complete each painting step by step!

In this Watercolour Painting - Venice Line and Wash course, I will cover basics such as:

•   Materials - what paints, paper, brushes and pens you will need

•   The correct use of values in painting

•   How to sketch a subject easily by simplifying a landscape into basic shapes

•   Understanding the basics of perspective, angles and simplifying buildings

•   Using essential watercolour techniques such as wet-in-wet and wet-on-dry
