When I first started using Watercolour in 1980 I was inspired to copy the great artists such as Constable, Quinton and others. I couldnt 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 youll see in this course is a result of years of learning through mistakes and finding what worked. Youll also see techniques never before attempted with watercolour (as far as I know). My watercolour pictures, even though theyre impressionistic, have a sense of realism about them.In this course Ill give you an outline drawing so that you can print this straight to watercolour paper or trace it using a carbon. Ill also show you the materials I use in my watercolour work. Then well get started with the paintings which are split into easy to digest parts.With this course you will learn to paint \"Scotney Castle\". The same location as one of our other courses but this time a different angle with new challenges. In this 4hr course you\'ll learn to paint a sky, trees, foliage, water, buildings and more!Towards the end of this course, Colin will also show you how to use pastel pencils to take your finished watercolour to the next level. With small enhancements you can add more vibrancy and texture to your painting.I hope you enjoy learning my watercolour techniques, once you are finished, please do share your artwork via the Q & A section or message us using Udemy\'s messaging tools.
