Watercolor Techniques You Will Learn
Show Details with Different Brushes
From fine lines to soft edges, you’ll experiment with a variety of brushes to create textures, shapes, and detailed elements in your work. We’ll explore what different brushes can do—and how to use them effectively.
Use White Space for Highlights and Light
Discover how to plan your composition and save areas of white to suggest light and highlights. You'll practice techniques that help your paintings feel vibrant and balanced without overworking the page.
Build Layers with Water and Your Palette
Learn how to create depth and dimension in your paintings by building transparent layers of color. We'll explore how to control water, mix shades on your palette, and layer paint to bring your artwork to life.
