Watercolor Exercises and Techniques

Purpose:

To experiment with a variety of watercolor techniques;

To make connections between experimenting with watercolor techniques learned to creating your own landscape watercolor.

In the exercises we did with watercolors I learned a lot of techniques that I never knew about before. I was actually pretty clueless about how to use watercolors. I never knew how to make a gradient, or the flicking technique, or how to draw lines with the point of the brush, or stipple, or stomping, or any of the techniques we used besides a wash.
