When I reach my goal I'll upgrade my tutorials with a new camera and use my old camera to give an extra view point in my videos!

In this little tutorial we are talking all about wet on wet watercolours. Consider it a primer for beginners in wet on wet and loose watercolour sketching where we will cover the basics to get you started.

Wet on wet watercolours can be scary at the start - so loose, so free, so uncontrollable? Well actually, they're beautiful and easy, and if you are a beginner this should give you a good start in how to paint with wet on wet watercolour paints.

This is an excerpt from my latest Skillshare class, all about Direct Watercolour and Ink Sketching, exploring wet-on-wet watercolour painting in urban scenes. To find out more you can follow my affiliate link here - http://bitly.ws/viDd - which will give you some money off a year subscription and let you have a free week to explore all the courses on there.

Of course, people spend lifetimes mastering this beautiful art, so in just 10 minutes we can't cover everything - but as with all sketching and painting techniques we can make them easy, and simple and learn through exploring them ourselves.

I love using wet on wet watercolours they are truly unique - no other artistic medium can produce these effects, only watercolours and nothing else. So why not explore the textures and beauty that it can create!?

It's also how I love painting - whether I'm sketching with a pen, or watercolours, or both - the colour part is always loose and lively. Watercolours just love to paint themselves, if you let them.

SO if you're excited, please join me in some loose and fun watercolour sketching and lets see what this can offer us as painters, sketchers and urban sketchers!
