Course Headline: Two different styles for this popular flower. Use a bright red/big brush. Then be more Botanical with a smaller brush.
What You'll Learn:
-
💦 Embrace the Flow: Learn to use more water and let the paints flow, creating a fluid and expressive piece of art.
-
🌈 Bold Colours: Use stronger colours and more pigment to bring depth and vibrancy to your paintings.
-
🎨 Meaningful Marks: Make meaningful marks with your brushes, allowing the tools themselves to tell a part of the story.
-
✨ Art from Accidents: Turn accidental marks into specific shapes, adding character and uniqueness to your artwork.
The Journey of Painting Confidence:
There's no need to outline or pencil sketch first. Let the paint and water guide you as you learn not to colour within the lines, embracing the freedom that comes with it. Your painting confidence will soar as you discover the joy of letting go and allowing your images to create themselves.
Colour Choices:
I've used a beautiful palette of Scarlet lake, Alizarin, and vermillion for the main reds, but feel encouraged to use whatever shades of red and orange you have available. Perhaps your local poppies have more yellow tones—make it your own!
The Magic of Fluid Watercolours:
Most importantly, immerse yourself in the magic of watercolours when they are used in a really fluid way. This course will teach you how to work in stages and correct any mistakes along the way, because everyone makes them sometimes! 🎵
