Learn to paint with watercolor and other water-based media using wood as a canvas
Watercolor and paper always seem to go hand in hand, but what would happen if you were to swap out paper for another material like wood? Painter and illustrator Katherine Dossman can answer that question. After over nine years working as an artist, she has developed her distinctive painting technique using watercolor and acrylic on wood, creating original pieces that have been exhibited in galleries all over Argentina, Brazil, and the United States.
In this online course, learn to apply watercolor and other water-based media on wood to take full advantage of the rich colors and textures that these materials offer.

Questo corso mi è piaciuto molto. L'insegnante simpaticissima ha spiegato la tecnica in modo chiaro ed esaustivo ed ha fornito ottimi consigli. Inoltre provando la tecnica mi è piaciuto molto il colore caldo del legno e l'effetto dell'acquerello che tralascia intravedere tutte le venature naturali del supporto.
