Special Effects in Watercolour
Online course with Jane Blundell
Special Effects in Watercolour is a six lesson extension course that is perfect for those who have completed my Mastering Watercolours course, and perhaps also my Travel Sketching Course, though others with experience in watercolour are welcome to join. This is another in-depth course, with lots of exercises within each lesson. You can join my courses at any time and work through at your own pace, as that is how I've designed my courses to be completed. Once registered you have permanent access.
The cost is only US$210, payable through Stripe (via credit card), or contact me and I'll send you an invoice, or instructions on how to pay using PayPal. If you are in Australia and wish to pay by bank transfer, contact me and I'll send you an invoice with bank details.
Each lesson is a new project based on a natural and largely floral theme. In each project we'll add new techniques to extend the skills developed in the Mastering Watercolours course. We'll refer to the colour charts, use the colour wheels and build on that foundation. This is not a course for beginners as a lot of knowledge and some experience is assumed. As with my other courses, it contains videos (over 8 ½ hours), step-by-step photos and written instructions. It is self-directed, but there are Question sections at the end of every lesson that I check regularly, and plenty of opportunities to post your progress and interact with the other participants.
Lesson 1 covers masking fluid in detail, with a gorgeous frangipani as a subject.
Lesson 2 covers a range of techniques and watercolour pigment characteristics in a multi-view mushroom study
Lesson 3 explores pigments, granulation and details using pebbles as a subject
Lesson 4 explores bending coloured washes with a tulip study
Lesson 5 includes a range of really interesting techniques for lifting subtle highlights and creating texture with an orchid as a subject
Lesson 6 is a Lotus, worked from tone to colour in a technique more common used in oils.
All the lessons have a challenge section for participants to try the techniques to create a study of their own.
A suggested materials list is attached. Most will be familiar. As always, use what you have first.
