Watercolor Landscapes: Experimental Tools and Techniques

Atmospheric Landscapes in Watercolor

“This is it! You have reached the end of the course. Now, it's time for you to show what you've learned by uploading your Final Project. These are the main steps I would like to see reflected: First of all, choose the scene you want to paint. It might be a single image or you may take elements from different photos and create a composition. Remember that it's important to have a focal point, an element that draws the viewer's attention.

Do the drawing in pencil and analyze the planes, light, and shadow to plan the use of color and the configuration of the planes in the scene. Draw on wet paper. First work on the character and then on the background, keeping in mind the division between cold tones and warm tones and the nexus they make so the colors integrate better. When what you did on the wet paper dries, highlight the first planes in your scene on the dry paper. Last, add some final glazes, working in blocks of color, to finish defining the atmosphere of the scene and finish up your final project. Don't hesitate to participate in the forum by commenting and providing constructive feedback to your fellow classmates. I'll try to answer all your questions, but please bear with me if it takes me a while. I might be busy with my own projects. Thank you and see you in the forum!”
