Hi everyone,

Back to basics for beginners.

Here is the technique video I made that shows you how to paint a graded wash. This is the second video on how to paint washes. The first video on how to paint a flat wash is here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/33533092

I do a quick freehand landscape exercise at the end of the video that shows you how to have a play with your washes after you've tried them out.

I'll add this one to my Patreon tutorial index that I have made on my website so you can find it whenever you need it. 

The index is here: http://www.louisedemasi.com/new-index

Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the links to the other technique videos.

Hi Louise Watching you paint this tutorial has made realize that I still haven’t mastered the wet paper, wet brush, wet paint technique. The knowing how much or how little to use… 😁 Still practicing!

Rita Navroth

Thanks Louise, these were excellent. Good examples to try out. As always you teach us in clear, organized and through techniques. Thanks again for sharing your painting knowledge with us. :-)

Chantelle Venter

Louise, your tutorials are brilliant ever so informative. So helpful to me as a beginner. Thank you for the priceless instruction, beyond compare.

Keith

Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Thank you! The instruction, both verbal and visual, were perfectly presented ensuring concept and techniques were demonstrated and conveyed a sense of, "I can do that!" Loved the impromptu small landscape at the end that was an excellent use of today's topic and demonstrated how they can be used to create small, but powerful paintings in a few minutes. Definitely leave this tutorial feeling confident I too can accomplish, with practice, everything you demonstrated. You have made my day! Thank you again! Keith

Really excellent..my first washes from the previous tutorial worked out fine, so on to this one now.

Kathy Johnson

Great tutorial—lots of good info in both this and the flat wash tutorial. Thanks for the heads up on your tutorial index—I somehow missed that previously!!! 🙃

Priscilla Mengyan

I love your painting and way of instructing, Louise! But...the endings are always my favorite with the "bloopers"! I always end a tutorial with a laugh - thank you! :)
