Foundations of Watercolour Level 2: Textures, Light & Form

Textures, Light & Form – Mastering the Power of Value

Unlocking the secret to breathtaking artwork isn’t about the colours you choose – it is about mastering light and shadow. This Foundations of Watercolour, Level 2 is a follow-up to Foundations of Watercolour Level 1! In this transformative module, you will learn to use “values” (the contrast between deep darks and bright lights) to capture a viewer’s wow and make your paintings leap off the page. We will explore fun, creative texturing techniques using household items like salt and plastic wrap, while mastering the art of “saving the white” of the paper to create brilliant, glowing highlights. From striking monochromatic architecture to glossy plums and reflective vintage glass jars, you will learn to paint with incredible three-dimensional depth.

Perfect for painters looking to move past flat images and create dramatic, engaging and realistic artwork. This course is for watercolour artists with some experience or those who have completed the Foundations of Watercolour, Level 1.
