Capturing Texture with Vlad Yeliseyev
WatercoloursAbout This Experience
This watercolour demonstration will explore how to use rough watercolour paper and dry brush techniques to create captivating textures. This approach is excellent for adding depth and dimension to your painting and creating loose, impressionistic works that stand out uniquely. Paired with the right amount of contrast and tone, this technique allows for rich, painterly effects that give your watercolours a distinctive character.
