Paint this. Watercolor techniques of wet into wet and scumbling are key to creating a good watercolor painting. This how-to step by step painting video is great for watercolor beginners and novices alike. All of us have to start somewhere. My journey started over 30 years ago and after a successful career (I have sold over 1800 paintings) I am enjoying sharing with other eager artists what I have learned. In this video I clearly demonstrate 3 of the most important watercolor methods. If artists can develop these skills alone, their work will advance rapidly. I start off showing how I use a simple pencil sketch to plan my painting of Zion National Park. Then jump into an easy wet into wet sky showing how to let the pigments blend on the paper instead of the palette. As the painting develops I will teach you about "blocking in" the first washes, then "scumbling" to create texture. While I work I share knowledge and tips about how YOU can reach higher levels of skill through "brush mileage" and practice. And of course I describe all the materials and tools I personally use from brushes and paints to palettes and paper. Thanks for watching.
