Project 1 Overview and Handouts

Project 1 Overview

In this project, you’ll learn the fundamental skills we’ll use throughout the course: 

• how to prepare your materials to increase your success with skies and clouds in watercolor
• how to identify some of the common challenges in painting skies and begin learning to plan your painting sequence to deal with one difficulty at a time
• laying graded washes (over larger areas than in Watercolor Jumpstart)
• glazing to create depth of color or deal with one challenge at a time, while keeping a wet-into-wet look
• using water and gravity to create flowing movement in watercolor skies and clouds
