Watercolor Painting For Intermediates I Techniques & Effects from Udemy

If you are looking for an engaging, fun and informative course, I would highly encourage you to sign up for this one. Broderick's teaching style is engaging, easy to follow and fun. I began painting in April 2020 after enrolling in a mixed media course on Udemy and fell in love with watercolors and inks. Since then, I've participated in several in-person workshops and other online classes/academies, and recently decided to give Udemy another go for watercolor painting. I found Broderick's Watercolor for Beginner's class and after watching the intro video I was hooked. About halfway through the beginner's course, I found this Next Level course and immediately enrolled. Both have been phenomenal and I am really enjoying his teaching and artistic style - Tiffany White

Do you want to take your painting to the next level?

The secret ingredient to improving the way you paint is

MORE water.

Did you know that the same water you use to mix your paints with can be used as another tool in your watercolor toolbox?

Using more water when your paint, can give your work a more organic look, with very little effort.

You just need to set up the right conditions then, let the water do what it wants, and I'm here to show you how.

WHO AM I?

Hey there. Broderick here and I paint in watercolor professionally,

from simple character designs, to realism, to fun art, even fine art pieces hanging in Museums in Europe.

I’ve been a featured artist for a major art supply chain
Social media loves my quirky watercolor pet portraits
Placed first in live watercolor painting competitions (2016 Harmony Festival Plein Air Champion ; 2018 Grand Prix Plein Air Masters Division Champion)
The Fabriano InAcquarello 2020, an international watercolor painting conference hosted in Italy,
invited me to do an online painting demonstration as an international artist.
I’m also the creator of Watercolors for beginners here on Udemy, a best seller course taken by over 9,000 people with over 400 reviews.

Now I’m excited to show you how to take your watercolors and rise to the next level.

When I felt I knew enough, I wanted to paint everything, from landscapes to animals, to portraits and urban scenes, but I quickly realized that every step I took forward, I took 4 steps back. It was such a strange, unusual experience which made me rethink how I had been painting.

I ruined many watercolor paintings trying to paint in a different style. I experienced many happy accidents, but didn’t know how to recreate them successfully. I persevered and took a handful of workshops and, over a brief period, I realized that there are levels to watercolors.

Fast forward to today, if I could have kick-started a path to success for myself to follow, to learn watercolor painting quicker without making so many mistakes, what would that look like? Through my experience in teaching myself and others, I have found the one thing that unlocks the full potential of watercolors and it is with this awareness that I present to you:

Watercolor Painting: Next Level Techniques and Water Effects

I really enjoyed the beginners course, and this one just takes off where the other left off. Already in the very first lesson I am learning something. I really enjoy this instructor's courses, its fun and informative, and would highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in painting with watercolors. Schantel Fick

If you're comfortable with the basic rules of watercolor, then you're going to have fun breaking these rules

and have the confidence to produce different effects that can't be achieved knowing the basics alone.

While they can be used to produce different effects they can:

Be quite costly to buy
Affect the longevity of your painting
Take up so much space on your table
May compromise your development of proper technique and application

MY SOLUTIONS TO LEARNING

If I showed you an easier way to achieve more with less, using only water, does that sound good?

You will learn special applications I developed that will help you control your water, then let go of that control, allowing the water to paint the painting with you. This gives your painting that fresh, fluid, “just painted” look even long after its dried. Using no extraneous materials, only water.

My Watercolor Painting: Next Level Techniques and Water Effects course is all about painting Wet On Wet. What is Wet On Wet? Have a look at one the free preview videos to get a better idea of how to put the W.O.W. (Wet On Wet) in your paintings.

You will learn the difference between Wet on Dry and W.O.W. painting
There will be 4 new W.O.W. techniques, that you can look forward to, allowing you to control your water and let go of that control, to let the water paint the painting with you
My 4 Phases of Wetness will teach you how to intuitively know to keep on painting or when to stop
This course includes everything that I teach in my live Wet On Wet workshops, ($260 total value)
Additional, bonus paint along videos to get more practice after the course

WHAT IS YOUR COURSE LIKE?

If you’ve taken different classes before but still have a hard time controlling watercolor or painting loose, my Watercolor Painting: Next Level Techniques and Water Effects course can help:

I found that these challenges are multi-layered and overlapping,

making it difficult to know where to begin.

This is why you may feel you’re taking 1 step forward and 4 steps back.

My Watercolor Painting: Next Level Techniques and Water Effects course peels away those layers,

then simplifies them into short focused lessons,

allowing you to learn only what you need to know at that time, to get you to the next level.

Succeeding lessons will have their own short, focused sessions that gradually build on top of the previous.

2) No extra fluff.

3) (Sometimes whether you learn at all. )

I designed this course to build new information on top of what you already know. Think Lego.

● New lessons introduce new techniques & reinforce what you learned in previous lessons

● Lessons include carefully designed activities to match the skill level

● Lessons are concise but packed with only relevant information

I'm glad I took this course. I've been frustrated trying to learn watercolors on my own. But because of this, I become even more excited with this medium. Thanks. Riamarie San Jose

Knowing differs from understanding.

Random tips and tricks are good for 1-time activities,

but have you tried painting something else after

and felt like it sent you straight back to kindergarten?

I've been there before. (A few times actually. Sigh.)

You need a stronger foundation to fall back on.

Understanding what you’re doing with your watercolor will take you much further.

● Too much control = Overworked, muddy paintings

● Too much spontaneity = One big-happy-accident-type-of-paintings

● Controlled spontaneity = Fresh, glowing, transparent paintings

The fear of uncertainty encourages procrastination.

What if I told you that all you need to do, is to just set up the right conditions and let the water paint it for you, would you give it a try?

I'm not even halfway through the course, but I have learned so much already about Thank you, Broderick. You are a masterful teacher. Diana D

There’s painting for fun, and then there’s painting to learn while having fun.

The course videos are professionally produced to educate and entertain.

This balance ensures a variety of presentations, instruction, humor and pacing.

● Painting for fun = Just playing with paints, there is not much technique to take away.

● Painting to learn = Heavy on theory and drills.

● Painting to learn while having fun equips you with what you need to know, right away, so you can enjoy the watercolor painting process more.

I’m here to help you think like water.

The more you understand, the less uncertainty there is, the more excited you will be to paint.

You will first learn how to control your watercolor.

Then I’ll show you how to just let it do what it wants.

This is what I call, Controlled Spontaneity: A give and take between you and the watercolor.

You will learn how to use water, to do different wet on wet techniques, ones that are a far departure from beginner techniques.

Yes: this has been a good match. The instructor is very clear with instructions. The video work is exceptional. - Jason Poole

Q1: I don’t have strong drawing skills, should I take a drawing class first?

You don’t need to know how to draw.

Since the focus of the lessons are about painting and not drawing,

I will teach you a quick and easy way to sketch (that even kids can do. )

so you can start painting right away.

Q2: I had done so little watercolor painting before and I quit from frustration. What makes your course different from others?

My course is professionally produced:

● All videos are shot in high definition

● Over the head shots showing my entire set up

● Close-up shots for color mixing

● Clear and consistent audio/commentary

● Combination of energetic and relaxed pacing

● Casual conversations vs. formal lectures

● Receive the information in small segments. No over explaining.

● Animation/Visual Cues to let you know where I want you to focus on

● Fun activities with new challenges in each lesson to build up technique and application

This is not your typical, traditional course.

My live watercolor painting workshops have allowed me to refine the lessons into what they are today,

breaking down the watercolor process even more into its most essential concepts.

Q3: Things are quite busy with work/kids/life. What if I don’t finish the lesson?

These lessons are available anytime you need them, wherever you are in the world.

Learn at your own pace as long as you have a computer and an internet connection.

So, are you ready to level up instead of painting happy accidents?

Then enroll now. I can’t wait to help you put the W.O.W. In your paintings using only color & water.

Love watching your course B, I’m learning so much. Wet on wet painting with watercolors has always been a mystery to me. My many unsuccessful attempts have left me wondering how artists consistently achieve these gorgeous, subtle, organic effects. He shares his method for painting these effects effortlessly and beautifully, step by step and makes it so much fun and memorable along the way. Sooo glad I will no longer be hoping for accidents that will go “right". Now I have a much better understanding of how to create the paintings I want thanks to his easy to understand method and clear explanations. Love his scientific explanations and little stories about his subjects, he is so engaging. Thanks Broderick, for unveiling the magical mysteries of wet on wet painting. Caroline

WELCOME

How will this course take a beginner painter to the next level?

Make sure to go through this section first. This will save you lots of time later on when navigating through the system.

Watch this first to get a break down of what my course has to offer!

Let me show you 2 ways to sketch the activities with almost perfect accuracy, in under 2 minutes!

"Why can't I find the link to download the resource materials?"

"I click on it but nothing happens?"

"Where are the templates and handouts?"

This quick video solves all of the questions above in case you find yourself in the same situation later on!

Download your Materials List by clicking on the link below ⬇️

W.O.W. isn't just an expression. Each letter actually stands for something. Can you guess what they are?!

Now that you know what W.O.W. stands for, we, as learning artists, would want to know what it "looks" like right? Let me show you!

Here are some studies I did using W.O.W. showing you what I mean by "unlocking the full potential" of watercolors.

If you really want to still use cheapie paper, make sure to watch this!

Now that it's dry, let me show you why I don't recommend using cheapie paper.

In this video, we will be "warming up" with our paints by just painting off the cuff. This is a good exercise to go through the motions of "letting go" without the burden of any expectations.

Watch how I use the sections I painted using W.O.W. and turn that into some pretty decent work!

Now that we've had a bit of fun, let's get more in depth to what is actually going on!

Watch how I break down everything that I did when "playing" with the 4 sections earlier. I encourage you all to give this a try.

WoW! You will now learn the first W.O.W. technique. Prepare yourself to go with the flow!

Practice your flow, it's the only way to go.

WoW! You will now learn the second W.O.W. technique. No weights will be needed as the name might suggest. All you need is your brush.

Practice your lifting, it's only fitting with every whisking.

WoW! You will now learn the third W.O.W. technique. What goes up (lifting) must come down (dropping)!

Practice your dropping, keep going now, there's no stopping.

WoW! You will now learn the fourth W.O.W. technique. There will be no "smooth washes" here. It's time to break the rules!

Practice your splattering, no need to be flattering, coz it's all about spattering.

We will start with using "some" water for this activity.

These are the colors of the fish. You can use whatever colors you have/want, but the actual colors I used are shown in the video.

Get ready to paint this fish in one go!

This is not the time to take a break...keep going...it'll only take you less than 2 minutes...then take a break!

Now let's give this fish some color. Get yours ready!

You've practiced on the first and if you feel you're getting the hang of it now, here's another fish that's waiting to be painted!

Keep going guys and gals. You're almost there. Dot that fish and celebrate!

Download your template by clicking on the link below ⬇️

We will now use "more" water to do this one.

These Orcas will be painted in a different color, not the usual black and white. You can use whatever colors you have/want, but the actual colors I used are shown in the video.

It's now time to give these whales a good wash!

Let's go darker this time and this will become the "coat" markings the Orcas are known to have.

Follow me and let's bring this Momma and Baby to life!

And now, "even more" water to take you way out of your comfort zone.

If you feel like you want to free hand the sketch (instead of using the template), then let's do it together. If not, you can skip this part and get your dolphins ready!

Time to wash these dolphins! The scene is getting bigger guys, get ready!

Now it's time to give these dolphins a little color. We're still using the same colors as we did with the Orcas and the Salmons with the exception of a dark brown (Burnt Umber), which is optional. No need to buy a dark brown just to paint this!

One peppy dolphin has come to play. Let's give it a nice coat of paint and bring it to life!

Second playful Dolphin, coming right up!

And finally, "more water still", putting everything we learned, into one painting! If you made it this far, THIS, is going to be f-f-f-fun!

If you don't have any masking fluid, no need to buy a bottle just for this activity. The W.O.W. techniques and applications can still be done without it!

In outer space time doesn't exist, so don't worry about it. Follow the flow then just let go! You'll see what I mean ;) I'm using Scarlet Red, Cobalt Blue and Yellow Ochre for this activity.

This is where it all comes together guys and gals! Let's take our paints out of this world and straight into the solar system!

A bit of cleaning house and we can call this done!

Hi there!

Do you want more practice to continue your learning? See what creations you can come up with by applying everything you learned about Wet on Wet on these animal templates!

Like everything else, all good things must come to an end...at least for this course ;) Wanna have a peak at what might be coming next?

You've learned Wet on Dry painting from my Beginners course and now you've acquired some Wet on Wet techniques! These two combined will now open up many possibilities to help you in painting other subjects, such as landscapes! Watch this video to see what you can look forward to!

This Next Level course assumes that you are comfortable with the basics. If this is the first time you've heard about my 4 strengths, I have included this as extra content for you, hoping that this will help you understand the terminologies I use and how to get the right pigment to water ratio.

If you feel you need more guidance, as there are subtleties to its application, more content about it can be found in my Watercolor Painting: Beginners By Award Winning Artist here on Udemy.
