Сourse is taught by Julia Barminova

The foundation a watercolorist needs for confidence in constructing and depicting complex forms such as city streets, house facades, architectural elements, ships, yachts, and bicycles when working in the studio and in the open air.

About

English and Spanish subtitles are available

From a simple lantern element to a complex building facade
with contrasting sunlight.

Architectural painting relies on two skills: academic drawing and watercolor technique.

In the course you will be able to deal consistently with drawing and watercolor right from the architectural details. From exercises to final drawings, everything will be full of life: these are not plaster staging, but real capitals touched by time, textures of dried plaster from city streets, lanterns, not cubes, cones and pyramids.

Classical academic drawing for architectural forms is exactly the foundation that gives the aquarelle artist the confidence to build city streets, house facades, architectural elements, ships, yachts, bicycles. 

After drawing, we will add watercolor techniques to our instruction: the proper use of color to create, for example, sunlight, quick sketch subjects, and slow studio work

On this course you will learn

Working with watercolor when depicting urban landscapes and architectural elements is composed of several skills:

  • Finding subjects in reality
  • Composition and arrangement of an object on a sheet of paper
  • Finding proportions and dimensions
  • Linear and aerial perspective
  • Working with shading: seeing and conveying volume
  • Illustration of different types of light: diffuse and contrast sunlight
  • Features of watercolor technique
  • Coloristics and chromatics
  • Classical step by step work: from the general to the particular and from light to dark

We'll break down all these points in detail in the context of academic rules and learn how to break them in order to master watercolor for depicting architecture once and for all.

For whom this сourse is

 

  • You work in watercolor, but feel you lack the basic rules of perspective and finding proportions.
  • Ever dropped out of academic drawing because you got bored.
  • Would like to master classical pencil shading and feel the difference between linear and light-toned drawing.
  • Dream to understand such concepts as linear perspective, aerial perspective, tone, flare, penumbra, reflex, falling shadow, own shadow and so on.
  • You want to know all secrets how to create realistic architecture in watercolor filled with sunlight on a white sheet of paper.

The course structure will change smoothly from simple to complicated in order to put your hand in the most harmonious way, to develop the sense of rhythm and generally understand the basis of academic drawing as applied to watercolor painting.
