Award-Winning Watercolors II-Rajendra KC

Description

ABOUT THE CLASS: Unlock the power of watercolor efficiency and bring fresh, vibrant light into your artwork. In this hands-on course, award-winning artist Rajendra KC guides you through a strategic approach to watercolor painting. Rather than overworking your paper, you will learn how to plan strokes, control value structures, and work with a limited palette to achieve maximum clarity and depth. You will learn how to map out your values and brushstrokes beforehand to preserve paper luminosity, discover how a restricted color palette creates natural color harmony and rich atmospheric effects, master the art of economical painting-making every single line and wash could without over-refining, and benefit from Rajendra’s popular, hands-on teaching style with step-by-step feedback throughout the process. Open to all levels looking to refine their technique and build confidence on paper.
