7. Watercolor Summer Excursion 1

SUMMER Watercolor Painting

Let’s Start:

Welcome to Youth Art Studio 2. Part 2.

It is time to grab your watercolor paints and head outside. This series of videos are fun and full of imperfections. The wind blows paper around, the bright sunlight prevents seeing the light shades of paint in the wetlands video, and sometimes lawn mowers interrupt my teaching. Welcome to the adventure of outdoor painting.

Gather Your Materials:

  • Watercolor paint

  • brushes

  • watercolor paper

  • pencil

  • fine black ink pen

  • cup of water

  • paper towels

  • masking or blue painters tape

Watch Teaching Videos:

Lesson 1. Painting in the car. (Rest Stop in Pennsylvania)

Lesson 2. Perspective. (Crescent Court. Louisville, Kentucky)

Lesson 3. Bridge Architecture. (Ohio River, Louisville, Kentucky)
