In this watercolour course you will learn how to paint a beautiful traditional English watercolour featuring an old watermill. There are demonstrations on painting summer trees and stonework which you can have a go at before starting on the full painting. I have broken the main lesson down into manageable sections that you can follow at your own pace. Enjoy this painting, I have created a detailed watercolour that will look great when you have finished the course. In the resources below I have included downloadable files featuring watercolour materials and a photo of the finished painting for you to copy from as you do the course.
This demonstration shows you how to develop great summer trees, both near and distant.
Before we start the actual painting here is a video describing the colours you will be using during this picture.
The course starts with some practice demonstrations on how to paint summer trees, stonework, cottages against dark trees, and a graduated sky wash. The full lesson is a painting of an old mill wheel with buildings and surrounding trees using features from the example demos. The course is broken down into bitesize pieces so that you can have a break at any point you fancy. At the end I will show you how to present your artwork. I have included a photo of the finished painting in the resources section for you to download and work from.
