Description
One of the things that makes watercolor really special is granulation. It's a property that is unique for watercolors and can be used to achieve magical effects. It can also ruin a painting if you're not familiar with it.So today I invite you to join me in the exploration of this enchanting paint property, master it and use it to your advantage!I discovered granulation as probably many of you have - by chance. It appeared in one of my paintings a few years ago and I wasn't sure if I did something wrong or if there was an issue with my paints. Later on, I discovered that not only there was nothing wrong but that this is the beauty of certain pigments and it can be used to create amazing effects. I started exploring it and I quickly became obsessed with it. It was as if the paints were painting by themselves - they easily created things that I wasn't able to do by myself.In this class, I want to share with you my knowledge about granulating paints. You'll learn:- What is granulation and why it occurs;- How to enhance it; - How to make granulating mixes, and when to use them.To help us on this journey, I decided to bring along one of my favorite subjects to paint - old architecture. I find old buildings, rustic doors, and crumbling walls so enchanting. There is something special about them and I've painted so many old facades in the last few years! I think granulating paints are a must for painting captivating and realistic old buildings and I find the process so enjoyable.This class is for advanced beginner and intermediate students that are already familiar with the basic watercolor techniques. There are two final projects in this class and they both require patience and some experience with watercolors. If you're not sure if this class is for you, I encourage you to at least watch videos from 1 to 8 - this will give you all the knowledge to start and explore granulation on your own and then maybe come back to the final projects whenever you feel more prepared.
