Hello again! It's Sandy Allnock, back with another in our Sunday watercolor series!!
Today I wanted to explore glazing - an extension of last week's flat washes. If you missed that one you might want to watch it too!
LINK: Watch in HD on our YouTube Channel HERE.
Tips:
- Apply glazes in thin layers - patience pays off!
- Let underpainting dry completely.Damp paint will cause problems and blooms you may not want.
- If shading, try adding a little complementary color to a glaze to darken the image. There's a color wheel HERE.
Pinnable reference guide
I recommend starting yourself a pin board with tips you find all over the web on watercolor techniques - I'll be sharing lots of them here, but there are already so many out there too! Each week I'll provide a new graphic to add to your collection for quick reference!
Make your own swatches of the techniques along with me! You can store them any way you want - on a ring like I've shown below, or in a pocket page with 2x2 swatches. Or heck, make them whatever size you want! I've stamped an image on mine rather than just doing a square - because I find I get more real-world practice by doing more than a shape. Use these tip labels for the back and attach them onto the back of your swatches: Download Watercolor Swatch Labels
Thanks so much for popping by - see you next week!
