Course Description:

Bev will guide you through each step, from selecting your reference photograph to completing your watercolour masterpiece. You'll learn two effective methods for transferring images onto your watercolour paper—using graphite paper or harnessing the power of a sunny window. These skills are not only limited to barns; they can be applied to any subject you wish to paint in the future, whether it's a vibrant garden of flowers 🌼 or an intriguing building with its own story.

What You'll Discover:

• Transfer Techniques (📸➝🎨): Master the art of creating your own transfer paper and learn how to accurately transfer images onto your watercolour canvas.

• Protecting Whites (✨🛡️): Discover methods to protect those delicate white areas with masking fluid or frisket, ensuring they remain pristine throughout your painting process.

• Watercolour Properties (💧🎨): Explore the differences between transparent and opaque watercolour paints and how to use them effectively in your artwork.

• Creating Depth & Texture (🎫✨): Learn to craft interesting backgrounds using various techniques such as scraping, splattering, or simply with a toothpick. Add that extra dimension to your paintings!

• Light & Shadows on Barns (🏰☀️🌄): Capture the contrast of light and shadow on a country barn and its surrounding sheds, bringing a realistic and three-dimensional feel to your artwork.

• Painting River Rocks (💦💎): In the final lecture, Bev will teach you how to realistically paint river rocks, completing the scene with elements that tell a story of their own.
