Watercolour challenge 28 (Patreon)

Happy Tuesday everyone. It's great to see so many new faces join us this month. 

This last tutorial for the townhouse project takes quite a leap from where we finished last week and that is because it is a true watercolour challenge: in this video I teach you one or two new things and then leave the rest up to you because you have learnt all of these skills in the cottage painting and tree painting projects! I am really keen for you to make this your own, not just to copy my finished piece. 

If this is your first watercolour challenge then you will definitely need to go back through the previous challenges to get yourself up to speed and see how this all works. All the while you can access all the tutorials on my youtube channel if you would like to go through some watercolour for beginners basics or brush up on other skills.

This is a private youtube link which only you sweet pea and cherry blossom patrons have access to.

Go for it! And don't forget to enjoy yourself! 

Once the piece is 100% dry and finished, lightly rub out any visible pencil.

Share your finished pieces on instagram using #dwpcchallenge and tag me @dewintonpaperco. And please do have a look at everyone else's interpretations of the brief (search the hashtag and you will see all the patreon insta posts from everyone in here) and celebrate each other's work. We learn from seeing how others interpret a single brief so a community encourages progres

Comment below with your findings, and if you are sharing your work on Instagram, use the #dwpcchallenge and tag me @dewintonpaperco.

Have a wonderful week.
