Want To Learn Watercolor Painting? Read This! How To Watercolor Paint
So, you want to learn watercolor painting? Well, in a world filled with plenty of ugliness, this is one thing that is a world of beauty at your fingertips. Watercolor painting is really not that hard. With a few tips and a little bit of imagination, you can become pretty decent at this without having to give up your first born in the process.
Let’s start with the grip. The basic grip for holding a watercolor paint brush is almost identical to the way you would hold a pen or pencil for writing. However, by simply adjusting the grip slightly, you can come up with some very interesting results. But starting with the conventional grip, since it’s similar to the handwriting grip, try writing your name. You can either print it or use script.
Okay, let’s now use a different grip. Try picking up the brush as if you are pinching it between your index finger and thumb. You can alternate between a tight pinch and a loose one. Then, take the brush, using each grip, and move it around the canvas. Notice the difference between the brush strokes using this grip and the standard grip. Notice the strokes are much fatter and with the looser grip, more free and less controlled.
Let’s try one more grip in this article called the screwdriver grip. Yes, you’re going to hold the brush as if it were a screwdriver and you were going to use it to screw something into a piece of wood. It’s a little awkward at first, but eventually, you’ll get used to it. Because there is a very limited range of control with this grip, it forces you to draw very simply. This is a great technique to use for sketching.
There are other grips that you can use but we’ll stop there. Yes, just by changing the way you hold your brush, you can get a variety of textures and effects on your canvas. For more great tips and a great resource in watercolor painting, check out the link in my signature.
