Learn watercolor techniques to capture the mood and atmosphere of a scene in both black and white and in color
Art is all about interpretation. By playing with contrast and effects, you can create pieces that tell a story and immerse the viewer in the mood of a scene— a skill that visual artist Reha Sakar has mastered through experience. After developing concept art for renowned companies such as Warner Bros. and Paramount, he rounded out his creative practice when he discovered watercolor, veering away from realism and embracing the looseness of this medium to create expressive depictions full of depth and artful splashes of paint.
In this online course, Reha teaches you how to use watercolor to capture an atmosphere in evocative watercolor paintings. Explore the basics of values, layers, and composition to create a black-and-white piece that evokes the essence of a scene and then let your creativity run wild as you paint another work of art in color, incorporating splatters and abstract elements for maximum expressiveness.
