Hello and welcome! In this course, we’ll be painting a beautiful coastal landscape of Normandy, France. You will be introduced to a diverse range of watercolor techniques, including wet-in-wet and wet-in-dry approaches. It can be challenging to master the art of creating and blending soft and sharp shapes when working with watercolors. Wet-in-wet painting is often linked to a loss of control, and without proper timing, it may result in a chaotic outcome.

Rest assured, I will guide you through the significance of timing in wet-in-wet painting. I will demonstrate effective techniques to gain control and layer skillfully, enabling you to create soft textures like shrubs and grass, while also adding sharp highlights to rocks, boats, and water. You’ll find that it’s easier than you might expect! Wet-in-wet techniques emphasize the natural strengths of watercolors and are essential for your watercolor journey. Mastering the addition of fine details is vital, particularly when depicting trees, rocks, and grass, as it enhances contrast and adds interest. Understanding the right moments to incorporate these details is crucial to achieve the best results.

Prior to commencing the painting process, I will demonstrate how to simplify shapes and sketch the prominent elements, such as the sky, water, shadows, trees, grass, and land. Getting those major elements accurately sketched beforehand is essential for your painting to make sense.

So join me in this course! I’m looking forward to revealing the secrets of coastal landscape painting.
