How to Paint Realistic Watercolor - Quinton's Ross on Wye
- 3.7
Brief Introduction
Learn Watercolor Techniques with Colin Bradley. Paint Quinton's Ross on Wye Landscape Picture.Description
When I first started using Watercolour in 1980 I was inspired to copy the great artists such as Constable, Quinton and others. I couldn’t get on with oil or acrylic so turned my hand at watercolour.
As I had never gone to art school I just went with my instincts and had fun!
Because I tried to copy the great artists, the techniques I developed were completely unique and unlike any other watercolour pictures I saw.
I remained self taught, learnt as I went along and what you’ll see in this course is a result of years of learning through mistakes and finding what worked.
You’ll also see techniques never before attempted with watercolour (as far as I know). My watercolour pictures, even though they’re “impressionistic”, have a sense of realism about them.
In this course I’ll give you an outline drawing so that you can print this straight to watercolour paper or trace it using a carbon. I’ll also show you the materials I use in my watercolour work.
Then we’ll get started with the picture which is split into “easy to digest” parts.
With this course you will learn to paint A R Quinton's "Ross on Wye" Landscape.
I hope you enjoy learning my watercolour techniques, once you are finished, please do join our private VIP facebook group where you can share your work with my other students.
