  • How to stop overworking your watercolour and learn how to blend paint and water in a controlled way. Lots of tips on how apply wpaint/water and how NOT to. This will certainly improve your painting technique.

    Course Comments: Great course. Completed it earlier in 2022 and thoroughly enjoyed re-engaging with painting after many lost years. Watercolour is a new experience for me and I just love it. Stefan is an extremely versatile artist and he imparts his expertise with interesting, enjoyable and achievable tutorials. Currently I'm revisiting some of the tutorials as a refresher before jumping into the Contemporary Landscape course. Very exciting. Thank you Stefan. Pamela A

    This is a most helpful video. Learning how to control water and the paint can be a challenge. The incorrect application on the left could have been done by me - too many times to count. I've learned alot from your very effective teaching. Thank you so much, Stefan! (subscribed ☺)

    Very good. As a beginner, I continually make the mistakes you talk about here. Understanding how paint/water works on the paper made all the difference. Thank you.

    Hace muy poco que conocí este canal y me inscribí enseguida pues me encantó el estilo de acuarela contemporáneo de Stefan.
    Este vídeo sobre la técnica del degradado, el control del agua y la importancia del tamaño del pincel ha sido muy didáctico, pues es éste una de las mayores dificultades de la acuarela. Lo practicaré hasta conseguir dominarlo.
    Muchas gracias por tus consejos Stefan.

    Thanks for the insights! What causes thin white lines to form across watercolor washes? (I'm guessing something to do with too much water lifting off the paint as the brush goes across esp. in graded or varigated wahes. Thanks.

      It is a very common problem though and technically probably one of the most challenging and therefore I thought I should share it.

    Thank you fir explaining everything in great detail. I’ve watched so many videos using big brushes and it makes sense to use the right size brush for the object you’re painting. I look forward to more videos! Your landscapes are awesome!

      @stefangeversartist  Před rokem

      It certainly does Isabel. I usually recommend a cold press 300gsm for beginners, it easier to work with then a smooth hot press
