Workshop 2 Lesson 1 Starts Today! - Strathmore® 2024 Online Workshops

Workshop 2 Starts Today! Tropical Botanicals in Watercolor With Instructor Tin Bejar Get your materials ready and let's paint a tropical paradise together! This Workshop is packed with easy-to-learn techniques, perfect for painting tropical botanicals like plumerias, birds of paradise, monsteras, and caladiums. We'll learn watercolor skills like creating graded washes in a monochromatic palette, glazing, variegated washes, wet-on-wet, and adding gouache backgrounds. Whether you're a newbie or a seasoned pro, this class is open to all. Lesson 1: Painting Monsteras using the Graded Wash Technique Let's kick things off by learning the graded wash technique; a skill that will enable us to paint soft, monochromatic monsteras in watercolor. This fundamental wash is the key to creating seamless gradients that smoothly transition from dark to light, gradually blending into the white of the paper. This technique creates tonal values, giving our illustrations a more realistic appearance. NEXT WEEK - May 13th Lesson 2: Painting Tropical Leaves using the Glazing Technique In our next lesson we'll dive into painting two varieties of caladium leaves using the wet-on-dry technique, also known as the "glazing" technique. We'll learn how to build up layers to add more details, depth and dimension to our watercolor illustrations. Week 3 - May 20th Lesson 3: Painting Plumerias with Watercolor and Gouache Apart from learning how to paint beautiful plumerias in watercolor, this lesson will demonstrate some tips and tricks in using gouache to create backgrounds, enhancing the visual impact of our floral illustrations. Week 4 - May 27th Lesson 4: Painting Birds of Paradise using multiple painting techniques For our last lesson, we'll apply the techniques covered in all our previous lessons. Get ready to paint Birds of Paradise using the Graded Wash, Variegated Wash, Wet-on-Dry, and Wet-on-Wet techniques. Our workshops are completely FREE! They are self-paced and after a video lesson is released, it remains open until December 31, 2024. Thank you for participating in our workshops! Show us what you make using #strathmoreworkshops
