    Free download: exercises to practice watercolor basics

    Download a free guide with watercolor exercises to practice gradients, blending and basic techniques, ideal for beginners and illustration lovers.. Watercolor is one of the most expressive and versatile painting techniques that exist. Its transparency, fluidity and ability to create unique atmospheres make it an ideal tool for both beginner artists and experienced illustrators. However, mastering it requires an understanding of how water, pigment and paper interact. Before venturing into complex compositions, it is essential to work on the fundamentals of watercolor: water control, transparency, blending and layering. Domestika provides you with a free resource that brings together essential exercises to improve your technique, gain confidence and develop a more natural handling of the brush. Below, we tell you what this guide includes, how to take advantage of it and what steps you can follow to continue growing in your artistic practice. Why practicing the basics is key in watercolor. Watercolor is a living technique: every stroke and every drop of water influences the final result. Before focusing on complete illustrations, it is important to understand how pigment behaves on paper and what changes are produced by varying humidity. Practicing the basics allows: - Understand how colors expand and control edges. - Become familiar with transparency and layering. - Learn to balance water and pigment according to the desired effect. - Gain fluency, confidence and a more fluid style.

Miguel Avila

Hola soy Migue, soy diseñador gráfico y docente en educación secundaria en el área de Artes Visuales. Mi motivación es seguir aprendiendo para mejorar día a día en lo que más me gusta, pues el dibujo es algo que me relaja y no me he dado el tiempo de practicar y encontrar un estilo propio.
