M2 L2 Watercolour Painting
Completion requirements
In this lesson you will learn the basic techniques of watercolour Painting, and complete a painting of architecture using those techniques. You will be able to show off your drawing in perspective skills (from M1) in this assignment too.
2. Assignment B: Watercolour Architecture
Watch the video "Watercolour Architecture" (in the Resource chapter). You may choose to paint along and submit that piece, or just watch, and submit your own architectural painting. Make sure you follow the steps:
- begin with a colour wash
- create a light sketch of a building (he uses pen - you should use pencil) over the wash
- add details with paint
- add finishing details with ink/pen.
Remember our point perspective lessons, and use those skills here too.
Remember the Composition lesson, and make considered composition choices.
Submit a painting of an architectural feature (building, bridge, doorway, monument, ruin etc) that you have painted using the techniques from Assignment A, and tips from the video for this lesson.
