Welcome to "The Watercolor Painting Series"! These series are designed the way that each class can stand alone and is complete on its own, but if you are here for the first time, this is the fourth episode.
Each class has three ingredients: Art theory, Color theory and a Trending Topic. In this class we will learn about painting light and shadow, the complementary color scheme and the composition of final paintings. We are going to create semi-realistic donuts.
The class is ideal for very beginners. These series are built up in a way that it takes a very beginner through art fundamentals which are important to understand and are essentails for creating art. As a professional art teacher, I am passionate about teaching art fundamentals for very beginners to build a stable and deep knowledge and understanding on which they can build later on.
In the first three classes, all the projects are chosen to be simple, with super simple painting techniques so that beginners can acquire the knowledge without being distracted by complicated tasks. We are focusing on painting simple shapes, brush control and color, to be able to master the medium itself with easy topics and techniques. In this class we are entering dimensions. We are going to follow my Reverse Shading Method, which gives us a coloring book experience but amazing realistic results.
In this class your task is to paint a simple donut. You need to use complementary colors and paint highlights, shadows and cast shadows. It is recommended to consider this painting a final piece, so mindfully place the donut on the watercolor paper and use the tips from the class to give it a finished look.
