But, although the <\/span>result <\/span><\/i>is much looser looking, the painting <\/span>process <\/span><\/i>we follow is actually very similar.\u00a0 So if<\/span>\u00a0you\u2019re familiar with the painting process that I use for <\/span>realistic watercolour<\/span>, you\u2019ll notice just how similar the technique is for <\/span>painting loose watercolor<\/span> too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the addition of ink in the final stages, the added element of line transforms your loose painting into a piece of <\/span>illustrative art<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

This relaxed and spontaneous <\/span>watercolour lemon<\/span> is a lesson in letting go of perfectionism and welcoming imperfection. It\u2019s seriously liberating!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever struggled with <\/span>loose watercolor painting<\/span> before, don\u2019t be put off. Because as you\u2019re about to see, once you\u2019ve got an understanding of my layering method, you can apply it to other styles of watercolour painting too.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]
