Watercolor Lesson

Today we had a watercolor lesson! Yay! I’ve been wanting to learn how to do watercolor for a while now so hopefully this’ll help me get into playing more with it because the professor’s watercolor portfolio was breathtaking. It’s definitely an asset as an architect to be able to create handmade renderings of buildings, especially in such a beautiful medium as watercolor.

First we played with washes and gradients, then with random effects such as splashing, blowing, dripping, and mixing.

We started to experiment with these techniques in a sketch of a structure with some hills behind it.
