Watercolor Flicking Challenge

04-04-2025 Watercolor Flicking Challenge:  The simplest method is to  point your brush at the paper, pull back and sharply flick it towards the paper . It should give medium splodges with some finer texture, depending on how much water your brush holds.  Check out this video that explains the Flicking Technique:   https://youtu.be/nsQxG5jX9vQ *When the link above opens, it will play an advertisement.

Good day all, Our next zoom art class on April 4th, I will assisting you'all in doing a pencil, permanent marker, and watercolor drawing of this building.  I learned this from Lou Davis and her You Tube tutorial.  We will take it slow and even though I am doing pencil, marker and watercolor, you can do whatever you like.  I enjoy seeing other’s visions of what we are doing.  Attached is a photo of the building, and I miss spoke and said it was “flat”.  There are bow windows and I will show you a practice window and how to get the lines right on this window.  Then we will delve into the drawing. Don’t stress-I have dimensions you can use, plenty of measuring, and I will update you as the 4th gets closer on colors etc. 1st photo is a from Lou Davis.  2nd photo is my rendition of her tutorial (after a few practices).   Here is the link Cathy provided for this lesson!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ixcenHiMak&authuser=0 Anit...
