About this event

  • Event lasts 1 hour 30 minutes

If you have been to some of my basic watercolors class, or if you are a beginner and want to apply this media to a certain composition, this tutored class may be of your interest.

I will explain some technique, subject, color mix or exercise to be applied to a small watercolor painting. We'll be working after some photo references or after your imagination. These classes are not recorded previously. These are not follow along classes where you have to copy what I'm doing. I will show part of the activities on camera if needed, but then you'll be creating your own artwork. As usual, those who want, can show their work after we have finished.

WATERCOLOR. Basic and simple. X Class. Exercises to make each week.

When a same class is done more than once on different dates, the contents are never fully repeated, only some examples perhaps. The reference images we work from are always different.

These are part of a series of drawing, sketching and painting classes (WTDP) especially for beginners and anyone who wants to learn different ways of drawing and painting, since there isn't only one, as there isn't only one way to do things in life. In each class you are encouraged to experimenting with different subjects and media (i.e. graphite, colored pencils , pastels, charcoal, ball and fountain pens, markers, watercolours, gouache, acrylics, etc.)
The classes are in English (some Spanish can be spoken too).

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to draw or paint?

Not necessarily. This class is intended to beginning students, though If you are more experienced, you can also try the activities and work with the prompts at your own level being more creative.

Do I need professional materials?

Not at all. Normally I recommend starting an activity with simple and inexpensive materials, and perhaps over time, if you like the technique, you can get better quality materials.

Can I use my own photos to draw/paint from?

Sure you do!

Organized by

Visual Arts Teacher working on online classes since 2020. I'm doing a series of Drawing and Painting Classes on Zoom which I call WAYS TO DRAW AND PAINT - WTDP - , with diverse subjects as still lifes, landscapes, animals, portraits and the whole human figure and also we work with different materials (graphite, charcoal, watercolors, colored pencils, pastels, tempera-gouache, oil, acrylics, collage and more. Some are stand alone classes, some others are weekly courses. These classes are in English language are intended mostly for beginning students, otherwise it will be announced as for intermediate/advanced students. Usually we are very few in each session, so you can ask questions and show your work on camera to get some feedback. <@dibujofranco> gmail / instagram / facebook / blogspot
