Six New Sections!
We are proud to introduce six new art lesson sections to the Learning Center of watercolorpainting.com.
Adding drawing and design lessons to a watercolor painting website is a no-brainer. Most of what you might think of as painting is actually a direct extension of your drawing skills.
You must give your painting some forethought as to design and composition BEFORE you act. Value sketches give an artist a solid understanding of the break down of the compostional elements of a painting. But what is a value?
The new sections cover Drawing Materials, Drawing Lines and Values, Perspective, Composition Secrets, The Golden Spiral, and Design Principles and Elements. In each you will learn the basics every artist should know and you will find links to explore on the internet. So we invite you to find some fun content and pretty pictures to look at in the Learning Center while you are gently tricked into becoming a better artist.
Who's here?
There are now over 1000 artists from all around the world represented in the Artist's Websites and Art Links directory pages. Might as well make a few clicks and start saying "Hi," there's a lot of folks like you out there. Who? You might find French artist Marius Pierre Cousin (left: detail of L'usine) out there in the clouds.
Drawing Materials
The new Drawing Materials section has 12 chapters containing in-depth tests and anaylsis of all the popular drawing and sketching materials. Learn about charcoal and graphite pencils, see comparisons of chalks, pastels, and crayons. Learn how to sharpen a pencil by hand (and at your own risk -.ed) and a whole lot more.
Watercolor Video
"They were just sitting there minding their own business when I started coercing water and pigment to end up looking like a painting." Three limes in natural light come to life with textures, glazes, and modeling in a new free watercolor demonstration video "Three Limes on Lime St." Sit back and relax to some Mozart while I pummel the paper with good intentions.
