Spontaneous and Fearless Painting with Sandhu Singh
Sketching & WatercoloursAbout This Experience
Sandhu Singh will demonstrate how to enjoy and fearlessly approach watercolour painting. The main goal of the demonstration will be to encourage spontaneity rather than getting stuck in colour schemes. Sandhu will also introduce the use of imagination instead of just painting what is directly in front of you.
Additionally, he will teach you how to approach a painting by breaking it down into shapes and then connecting them coherently to achieve the best result for the viewer.
Sandhu will demonstrate basic techniques such as dry brush strokes and how to paint wet on wet without feeling intimidated by the process. Watercolour is more about philosophy and patience than just techniques.
