More Watercolour Painting Techniques

Basic Watercolour Techniques:

Flat Wash Technique - The flat wash painting method is a common one. This technique is usually used when large areas of your watercolour painting need to be covered. It is important to lay out the watercolour wash evenly and uniformly. First, you dampen the area of your paper where you will be applying the wash. Be sure to have an adequate amount of water and pigment available before your begin.

If you should have to stop for any reason, it will be rather difficult to match your layers. It is better to have more than less available. The angle at which you apply the watercolour wash is important. If the angle is too steep your wash will run down the paper. If the angle is too level, then there won’t have enough movement. Use a large brush for this technique and start your first stroke at the top of the paper. Continue applying the watercolour wash going down the paper, but alternate sides as you move down.

Glazing - Glazing in watercolour painting is when you apply a thin transparent colour over a completed dry layer of colour. This technique creates unique and interesting blends of new colour. You will need to use a non-staining, transparent colour for this watercolour technique. You will need to use a soft brush and try not too apply that much pressure.

Wet In Wet - Wet in wet is simply applying a wet wash over a wet surface of your watercolour painting. You start by evenly wetting the paper with a brush or spray bottle. Have a sponge handy to absorb any excess water. You want your paper to be evenly saturated. Then apply your watercolour.

Dry Brush - With the dry brush technique, you begin with a dry piece of paper. Then pick up some dry pigment with just a touch of water and apply to your paper. The dry brush method is only recommended when you want to draw focus or create texture in your watercolour painting. It’s always a good idea to use different brush techniques in a single painting. This results in a more interesting painting.

Lifting Off - Artists use this technique when they want to remove colour from a certain area of the watercolour panting. It is usually done by first wetting the area that needs to be removed with a clean sponge and then absorb the colour with a tissue. If you find that the colour does not come off right away, then let the water soak in a bit longer and try again. If you still are unable to remove the colour, dampen a bristle brush and gently scrub the area. Use extreme caution when using this method as it is possible to damage your paper.
