Sketching Now Watercolour

Week one, Controlling Water, of #sketchingnowwatercolour class by @lizsteelart. (Sorry about the sound...just experimenting.)

Colour or color? Doesn't matter. I'm just happy to be online with #sketchingnowwatercolour students from around the world.

Liz Steel from Australia has another great online class all about water color, especially when sketching on location. There is still time to sign up! Do by January 18th, when registration closes.

We sketched our palette, tested out different brushes and different papers, then dove into the theories of water control, water flow, and awareness. We learned about wet vs. juicy vs. pasty mixes and then tried it on a practical exercise...a plate of vegetables.

The goal...make "magic" happen with water.
