Done poppies before, but this a light and quick poppies. Yellow, Orange, poppies, Wet on wet techniques and quick movement of brush in curly, random manner. Finally, red is added once more with more pigment. It happens in 2 mins for one max. And if you're a newbie then you could be a lil slower. Thanks to YouTube and my mentors: Angela Fehr, Andy Geeson, Jean Haines and others! As a newcomer books help, too! I'm inspired by 'world of watercolour' by Jean Haines! Be confident, Try small till you're confident. Then you could try a field of poppies! with you! Thanks for being here Valsa Instagram@drmctchr_studio Twitter: vallsa I'm

Palette knife is an interesting tool to create cool, textured or smooth watercolour painting. As a sketch you can go to your limit and use various mark making to create, grasses, smooth sky, rocks. Starting from one, that was a night wash, started with some steel and plastic palette knives and slowly built up an abstract painting, To me it seemed it could be a flower bouquet, but i don't want to spell it to my viewers. We did some pouring, splattering, to demonstrate different possibilities. I enjoyed my palette knife experience. Hope you did. I rather teach techniques to give you the way rather then the fish!

Finally, after practicing washes we're ready to start on clouds! Keep a tissue handy and let's get some cool clouds! Very lightly sketch the cloud shape. Look at some real clouds and draw a basic shape or go with the examples here.  Keep some blue, i choose ultramarine if i want to get that lifted fluffy cloud,but cobalt blue,is also a good option. The reason being a staining colour won't let us lift the white clouds. You need a 150 lb or 300gsm paper for we are literally going to pour water on the paper...actually with a thick flat brush or your thickest one. wet the paper, thoroughly till the cloud area or above the horizon line. Use your palette to make a mix as thick as coffee, not milk or water. Paint the top and just run the brush along,; the loaded brush will help carry and you must have noticed in your practice how the pigment spreads. Don't stop it let  it splash on it's own. Then quickly before the shine of the paper vanishes scrunch your tissu...

Hi friends, Let's get closer to understanding washes, before we attempt anything else. These are the foundation to learning watercolours! Let's start with a graded wash! Get your gear - paints, paper, lat brush, palette, tissue and of course, WATER! You can do this on one sheet by dividing the space with watercolour or painter's tape. A GRADED WASH The first graded wash is simple yet exciting as you see the colour strengthen and fade into nothing! Chose any colour you like ultramarine blue, cobalt, alizarin crimson, cadmium yellow, red or any colour you like! Soak your flat brush with pigment with very little water. Just enough to move the brush smoothly. Practice on newspaper, rough sheets so you can be sure. As a sketch book you could use 180 gsm watercolour, paper for practice. I do that for my night sketches. Wet the area you're going to  paint. Fill your flat brush with pigment and move it on the paper in short strokes or one long s...
