Watercolour on Wood - Paint a Vivid Luna Moth
Charlie Proulx, Watercolour and Textile Artist
About This Class
Learn how to paint with watercolours on wood using watercolour ground as a base. We'll explore different wood treatments and how they react with watercolour. We'll then play with a variety of watercolour techniques, like wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and layering, to create a vivid luna moth painting full of character!
Watercolour on wood has a magical, transparent feeling to it that can't be captured on camera. Create your own piece so you can see this magical effect in person!
You will learn:
- Which treatments to use on your wood to complement your subject.
- How to prepare a wooden canvas using watercolour ground
- How watercolour behaves differently on wood compared to watercolour paper.
- A variety of watercolour techniques in a beginner-friendly way!
