Softening Paint Edges - Technique Lesson - Journal Exercise 1 (Patreon)

Hi everyone,

I'm pleased to introduce the first instalment of an upcoming series of journal exercise videos dedicated to delving deeper into the fundamental techniques of watercolour painting. In this lesson we'll be focusing on the art of softening edges.

Mastering the skill of manually softening edges with your brush is really important to learn. This technique empowers you to take command of colour and value transitions, enhancing the subtlety and nuance of your artwork.

Rather than merely practicing on separate sheets of watercolour paper (like we have in the past), I propose a different approach to aid your progress—a personalised 'technique resource' journal.

Creating and maintaining a watercolour journal is especially beneficial for beginners. It serves as a dedicated space for skill development, allowing you to practice and experiment with various watercolour techniques in an organised and controlled manner.

Over time, this journal becomes a visual timeline of your growth and evolution as an artist.

I'm pleased to share that there are more tutorials like this one in the planning phase. Topics will include blending paint, honing brush control, conquering tide lines, and more. If there's a specific technique you're eager to explore, please don't hesitate to let me know. Your feedback and preferences will shape the content of our upcoming tutorials.
