Using a waxy pencil and very watery paint, it’s possible to work in a loose-but-detailed way.<\/p>\n

Over the past year, it’s felt like a revelation to me that as artists we can express our own unique artistic voice<\/a> through more than one style. One of the new styles I’ve been exploring is Line and Wash watercolour painting.<\/p>\n

In these years of having young children, I find that line and wash style painting satisfies my love of observing and painting nature’s details<\/a>, yet opens up a way to produce big, impactful paintings which I can finish in a short time.<\/p>\n

For this first line and wash watercolor flower mini class, we’ll paint a Freesia, a favourite spring flower.<\/p>\n

As you’ll see, the waxy pencil lines create a barrier that stops the wet paints from mixing and muddying on the paper<\/a>. This makes it possible to work quickly and use watery washes of paint in neighbouring areas. It’s a lot of fun!<\/p>\n
