Watercolour Painting for Beginners - Prague Watercolor Painting

In this watercolour painting tutorial for beginners, I'll show you how to paint a classic Prague scene (Old Town Square) using line and wash techniques. I discuss elements of the drawing and how I constructed this scene. I also talk about my materials in more detail, paper, paints, and what kind of pens I use. I had two sets - uniball pens in 0.7, 0.5 and 0.38 and Staedtler pigment liners in 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5 and 0.8. I'll talk about the differences between then and why I use both. It's very important to make sure the drawing has enough detail and accuracy, even with a loose style. The watercolour is simply used to add the values and contribute to the mood of the painting. Enjoy!

I had some sniffles during this video due to hay fever, most of it is good though, edited out the BIG sneezes.
