15 Watercolour Painting Techniques Every Artist Should Try
The wonderful world of watercolour painting is filled with colour, drama and numerous painting techniques. If you can master the tricky medium, then you will be able to create some of the most stunning pieces. Part of becoming an expert is learning all the different techniques that can be used. Here are 15 of our favourite watercolour techniques.
Flat Wash
One of the simplest watercolour techniques, this is a great one for beginners to practice. A flat wash is simply painting a large, even patch of one colour to create a flat base for your picture.
Graded Wash
This is a relatively easy technique that takes a little practice and patience to get right. Start by loading the paintbrush with lots of colour before painting one side of the canvas. Next time you dip your brush in the paint, use a little less colour and move over a little on the canvas. Each time you paint, you will use a little less colour, so that it looks as though the colour is fading as you go across the page.
Alan Owen
Spending time on Alan’s YouTube channel is a bit like like popping round to your Grandad’s for a cup of tea and a chat.
Alan has been painting watercolors for decades and I learned a lot from him, especially when I was getting started. His relaxed self-deprecating manner and conversational style is enjoyable and inspiring. It’s also mirrored in his casual loose painting style. Alan has many many painting demonstrations on his channel.
Watercolor By Shibasaki
After you’ve been to visit Alan you might want to go and visit your other Grandad.
This softly spoken smiling Japanese gentleman may just have the biggest watercolor painting channel on YouTube. His brush skills are mesmerizing. He just makes everything look so easy.
My favourite video is where he paints a rose in 5 minutes. I’ve no idea how he did it, he just waved his brush around a bit and a rose appeared! Us mere mortals can only aspire to be this good but it makes for great viewing.
Andrew Geeson
Andrew Geeson’s specialty is painting loose colorful florals and landscapes and there are many great examples and demos on his channel.
