Welcome to the class. To start off with I want to do a bit of an overview of what we'll be learning in this session. If you don't have a good understanding of how layers work in watercolor, then it really inhibits your painting and the outcome that you get. So the key concepts that we're going to be covering transparency, working light to dark, working wet on dry, and using multiple layers. Alright, so I have got a nicely laid out worksheets for you to use which you can download from projects section, we're going to be starting off by playing around with a basic layering exercise. Next way we'll be talking a little bit about glazing, and how that applies to your compositions.

We'll be talking about transparency. We will then work on a negative painting, which is kind of on trend at the moment, and then we'll be talking about more complex compositions. And a term that I've come up with called wash Define Pattern and lime adding textural and pattern layers on top of our washes. And then for a final project, we are going to combine everything to create a sea turtle. You can paint your final work as a greeting card, or you can paint a bigger version that you can then frame or keeping your sketchbook. This exercise really helps to get you thinking with that watercolor mindset, thinking about the end game and how you need to work over a number of layers to get to the final visual outcome.
