    Here's the full list of materials you can start your watercolour journey with


    Watercolour painting basics | Checklist

    1. Paper - 300 GSM paper | Hot pressed OR handmade - I strongly recommend using watercolour pads when you are starting. Watercolour is a challenging medium and you must practice regularly in order to make progress. Disappointment will be your constant companion through this journey. A watercolour pad can ensure a constant supply of paper for marathon practices while keeping it light on your pocket. Paper size for this painting - A3.

    2. Water - Running Water (At least 2 litre) - Taking less quantity of water can make it muddy and affect your hues and tones

    3. Palette - Invest in a good palette with lots of mixing space

    4. Watercolour Tubes - Always buy artist-quality watercolour tubes. To begin with, have these basic hues - Cobalt Blue, Lemon Yellow, Scarlet Lake, Payne's Grey, and Chinese White. You can practically create any other hue with these colours. We will explore colour theory in depth in our next courses.

    5. Brushes - For this painting, stick to a round brush and a flat brush (Sizes mentioned in the video). As a thumb rule, use slightly larger brushes as they help produce big, bold shapes creating the much-needed looseness in watercolour paintings. To begin with, synthetic brushes are recommended. You can transition to squirrel hair brushes as you progress.

    6. Masking Tape: 1 inch OR 2 inch

    7. A watercolour pad to stick the paper on

    8. Tissue Paper

  • Subject Practice4:30

    Drawing is an irreplaceable element of any visual art form, be it any medium - watercolour, acrylic or oil.


    Initially, our hands tend to be rigid as we try to replicate the OBJECTS we see.

    But as we practice more, OBJECTS become insignificant and SHAPES start gaining attention.

    With more practice, our hand starts to loosen up, enabling us to create bold and loose sketches.

    Recommended: Use a 6B pencil and carry a sketchbook wherever you go. Look around, observe, and keep sketching at the airport, at the bus stand, and even while sipping coffee in a restaurant.

  • Stretching Watercolour Paper0:51

    Paper: 300 GSM paper.

    Tape: 1 inch Cello Tape (Suggested Tape: Masking Tape)

    Tones are undoubtedly among the most foundational elements of painting.

    What are tones in watercolour painting

    Simple ways to create different tones in watercolour painting

    How to create light tone, mid-tone and dark tone in watercolour painting


    Always Remember:

    Objects that are near, have darker tones. Objects that are father, have lighter tones.

  • Drawing2:32

    Drawing is an irreplaceable element of any visual art form, be it any medium - watercolour, acrylic or oil.


    In this video, you will learn:

    Basic drawing technique

    How to look at the subject as SHAPES and NOT OBJECTS

    Initially, our hands tend to be rigid as we try to replicate the OBJECTS we see.

    But as we practice more, OBJECTS become insignificant and SHAPES start gaining attention.

    With more practice, our hand starts to loosen up, enabling us to create bold and loose sketches.

    Recommended: Use a 6B pencil and carry a sketchbook wherever you go. Look around, observe, and keep sketching at the airport, at the bus stand, and even while sipping coffee in a restaurant.

My Watercolour Journey | Who am I?

I am Pranav Kulkarni. I am a Mechanical Engineer by qualification and a journalist by profession. As a child, I always loved watercolour but it was only in 2007, when I was in my first job that I actually picked up the brush and started painting.

It was a difficult path in the beginning. Repeated failures often pushed me to give up painting. But what kept me going was my love for watercolour and more importantly, the boost given by small milestones that I achieved while overcoming my fears.

Today, I can confidently say that watercolour is my best companion and continues to stand with me, making my tough times easier and enriching my happy times.


Why watercolour? Why everyone needs a hobby, especially in today's times?

In these digital times, when moments of solace are few, I believe that watercolour, or for that matter, any art form is the path to unadulterated happiness. It is an activity that makes you forget the noise around you and brings time to a standstill. I experienced it 15 years ago, and continue to experience it even today. It just never gets monotonous. It never gets boring!

And it is this unadulterated happiness that I want to multiply by sharing it with everyone! I want everyone around me to fall in love with watercolours! They have given me a lot and I am committed to reciprocating and spreading the magic of watercolours to everyone who intends to add this happiness to their lives. Join me today, and I assure you that we will together pursue this journey and add colour and happiness to your lives.


Happy Painting,

Pranav
