In this Intermediate class, you'll paint romantic, loose watercolor roses with a wedge brush.
You'll learn how to manipulate, flip, and position your wedge brush to create soft, charming roses, stems, & leaves
NOTE: this class uses a Beste Fountain wedge brush
Available at Jerry's Artarama or Amazon
A Silver Ruby Satin Triangle or Princeton Petals brush can be substituted but I only use a Beste Fountain wedge brush in class
You're welcome to substitute with a round brush too. Many skills can be learned!
A dagger or a striper brush is not recommended
Some prior experience with watercolor and a wedge brush is helpful but all levels are welcome!
Learn a wet-in-wet technique that makes this loose style of painting less scary!
learn to maintain some control of those beautiful bleeds as the paint collides with the wet paper
Every step is explained
Due to the "faster" nature of the wet in wet technique, some lessons required using voice-over so I could explain the information in more detail
Learn to lighten up your strokes in a loose & expressive way
Learn to avoid painting roses that look like blobs
See how to soften the look of your painting and avoid hard edges
Color Palette - ONLY 4 colors:
Red or Pink of your choice. I'll be using:
