Welcome!
Join me, Ellen Jean Diederich, as we make our way though this beginning watercolor workshop. I will provide insight and show you basic techniques of watercolor painting.
In this video, we start by going over the supplies you need and how to set up a palette. I will demonstrate the most basic techniques and explain the importance of “timing” in transparent watercolor. These techniques, when mastered, will build your confidence and can be used in the most complex paintings. Any of these exercises also serve as excellent warm-ups and cannot be practiced too much. You will also learn the correct terminology as we go along. We will work on creating a painting from start to finish. Log on and review as often as you like!
