From Idea to finished Illustration Session 6 - Illustrating with Watercolor Paint

What You Will Learn?

• From idea to finished illustration.
• Having an idea in your mind for a lovely illustration or artwork, is one thing. Getting it on paper, is a different thing. Having it turn out the way you actually envisioned it to be, is a different story altogether…...
• These sessions are going to empower you to take on that challenge. I will take you through the entire process from a blank page to a finished illustration. We will be covering all the necessary steps and topics you need to succeed. At the end of this total Art Class you will even be able to illustrate your imagined artwork with different mediums. Even without any experience. Challenge accepted?.
• Session 6 – Illustrating with Watercolor Paint.
• This session is all about watercolor painting. That is the medium we will be using in this part of the Art Class to come to a completely finished illustration. How exciting is that!.
• Don’t worry if some sense of intimidation is holding your excitement back at this point. My clear instructions and explanation will surely tackle that..
• First I will show you the basic techniques: how to pick up your paint, mix your paint, different ways to bring it to the paper, how to use the brushes, the different effects you can get, blending, and how to correct mistakes (yes, they will happen)..
• Once we’ve gone through all of these basic steps, you will have build up enough confidence to work with these watercolor painting techniques. So then we can start working on our actual illustration. I will show you step-by-step how to turn your drawing into a beautiful watercolor illustration..
• In the part of the video where I’m giving you all the instructions, I will be working with very affordable paper and paint. This is to show you that any paint will do and get the job done! Of course the result will be different with some more expensive materials, as you can see for yourself  in the additional videos..
• Now there is nothing holding you back anymore, let’s go and create a wonderful watercolor piece of art. You can do this!.
