English | 1hr 11m | Video: 720p

As a self taught watercolorist I know what its like to be a beginner. I pretty much learnt through trial and error over the last three and a half years, and 16 sketchbooks. As you can imagine there was a lot of frustration and overworking as it was pretty hit and miss. In this informative and fact finding class we are going to look at the basics of the wet on wet technique that I often use in my sketchbook these days

There will be a series of 5 'timed experiments' which will look at how the:

- quality of paint

- brand of paper

- water pigment ratio

- water load on brush

with affect the drying time, and when subsequent layers are added.

Time is crucial factor in determining the outcome when using watercolour, whether you're blending or adding another wash. If you add pigment or water at the various times - anywhere from 5 - 150 seconds from when the paint first touches the paper you will achieve quite different results.
