How to Paint Hollyhocks with Watercolour | After A R Quinton

About How to Paint Hollyhocks with Watercolour | After A R Quinton

When I first started using Watercolour in 1980 I was inspired to copy the great artists such as Constable, _Quinton_ and others. I couldn’t get on with oil or acrylic so turned my hand at watercolour. As I had never gone to art school I just went with my instincts and

had

fun!

Because I tried to copy the great artists, the techniques I developed were

_completely unique_

and unlike

any

other watercolour pictures I saw. I remained self taught, learnt as I went along and what you’ll see in this course is a result of years of learning through mistakes and finding

what worked.

You’ll also see techniques

never before attempted with watercolour

_(as far as I know)_. My watercolour pictures, even though they’re “impressionistic”, have a sense of

realism

about them. In this course I’ll give you an outline drawing so that you can print this straight to watercolour paper or trace it using a carbon. I’ll also show you the materials I use in my watercolour work. Then we’ll get started with the paintings which are split into “easy to digest” parts. With this course you will learn to paint one of my favourite AR Quinton Paintings - "Hollyhocks". In this 7.5 hour long course you'll learn to paint a sky, trees, foliage, flowers, figures, brickwork and more. I hope you enjoy learning my watercolour techniques, once you are finished, please do share your artwork via the Q & A section or message us using Udemy's messaging tools.
