Korshub's take

Overview

This class pushes watercolor texture work further than a beginner introduction, moving from practice "texture swatches" into a full illustration built around an animal and its environment. Along the way, the instructor shares a personal creative process and points to other working artists whose textured pieces are worth studying.

Who it's for

Anyone who has covered watercolor basics like transparency and mixed media and wants to build real confidence applying texture to a finished piece, rather than isolated exercises.

Key takeaways

Practicing texture through dedicated swatch exercises
Learning from the working process of established watercolor artists
Applying texture confidently to a final animal-and-environment painting

About this course

Welcome to my 3rd skillshare class: Watercolor Textures, if you enjoyed my beginner class and mixed media class you’re gonna love this!

In my beginner class, I showed you all the basics of transparencies, pulse and precision. In this class, we are taking it a step further and actually creating AMAZING watercolor paintings using these simple tools and applying them to your ideas and a final work of art in mind.

We begin by practicing our textures is this really fun activity I like to call texture swatches. Through this activity I will bring you into my creative process and experience how I come up with new ideas.

I will also show you examples of fantastic artists I admire and analyze how they apply textures into their works of art.

By the time we get to our final project you will be a pro at textures and will have the confidence to jump into a final illustration with full commitment. Our final project will be painting an animal and/or the environment surrounding it. I promise you’ll make something beautiful! :D
