Water control is one of the most difficult concepts to impart regarding watercolors, but it's also the most valuable skill one can learn about the medium. It is the foundation of all watercolor paintings, as our values and luminosity (or lack thereof) are all derived from our ability to guide the water across the paper effectively and with purpose. In this PDF course, I will help you to breakdown the mysterious aspects of water control into concrete exercises.

In this class, we will:
• Explore various watercolor application techniques
• Practice painting flat and graded washes
• Learn how to create and prevent water blooms
• Discover how water control and value are related
• Paint a beautiful rhinoceros portrait

This is a DIGITAL DOWNLOAD. You will recieve one PDF file as well as a ZIP folder that includes all printable materials. Within the lesson, you will find a link and a QR code to direct you to the video lesson. The PDF is 44 pages, including 4 detailed lessons on how your supplies affect water control, 5 actionable exercises with printable worksheets, and 30 reflection prompts along the way.

By the end of the course, you'll be able to paint our class project right along side me using all of the skills you've learned along the way. You'll find the reference image and line art with your class documents.
