Description
Awesome art isn't by accident, or luck. It's Intentional!!!
In this course you will learn a four step processthat will teach you how to paint awesome watercolor art.
It's designed for experienced watercolorists that have been around the medium for a while and want to take their art to the next level.
Here are the four steps we will cover;
Step one; The Why - This is the key to making meaningful art. Without a why the art will often become flat, trite, or boring. One needs to have a reason for painting art and a why is key for developing strong areas of interest in the painting.
Step two; Composition & Design - Here we will take on an often forgotten, or ignored, area of art making. It can be confusing but we will simplify the process into simple, tried and true methods that works.
Step three; Value Hierarchy - A huge piece of the puzzle and again, often ignored because creatives tend to only focus on color. Values are what 'sells' the composition and the why to the viewer.
Step four; Color Harmony - There are two main categories for creating color harmony. And neither one is color matching! Trying to replicate the hues in nature, or photos, is a waste of time. Instead we will pick one of two paths and they are chromatic or tonal palettes.
