Make Your Spontaneous Landscapes More Exciting - Watercolour Techniques for Interesting Washes

Video Description

How do we make a loose and spontaneous watercolour painting more exciting? In this painting demonstration, I’ll walk you through my techniques of creating a semi-abstract spontaneous landscape. I’ll show you how I control water and pigment to achieve interesting and luminous washes for a simple but dynamic and atmospheric composition, and how I balance vibrant hues with quiet moments of light and texture..
