Watercolor Painting One of my favorite types of art is watercolor painting. Watercolors are a great way to introduce a child to painting -- they are fun and easy to clean up. It's also the media to try if you want to paint, but you have a limited amount of space or time. Easy to set up, interrupt, and pick up again, these paints provide a great deal of flexibility. Watercolors differ from other paints in that they are transparent. When light meets the paint, it actually travels through the paint to the white paper beneath, then bounces back from the paper. There is a large variety of supplies to choose from when beginning, but we’ll go through them so you can find the ones that will best fit your needs and budget.

Apprendre a dessiner - Améliorer la qualité de son trait en deux temps trois mouvements - Lorsqu’un débutant ou un amateur peu confiant dessine d’observation, et qu’il veut dessiner sans perdre de temps, il essaie fréquemment de tracer plus vite, et la qualité du dessin s’en ressent sur le croquis final.

Bien heureusement, on peut corriger les mauvaises habitudes, surtout si cela ne fait pas longtemps qu’on dessine. Aujourd’hui, je vais vous apprendre à dessiner avec un trait plus confiant, ou en tous cas, je vais vous montrer comment faire. Ce n’est qu’une question de comportement. Eh oui, avant de faire passer le mur du son à son crayon, il va falloir se forcer à analyser plus vite ce que l’on observe et à aller à l’essentiel des formes et des contours tout en cherchant la beauté du trait. Quelle(s) forme(s) résume(nt) ce que je veux dessiner ? C’est simple, vraiment. Dessin réalisé sans trop réfléchir.
creative.com - Watercolor Painting for Beginners: A Complete Guide Starting a new hobby in watercolor painting doesn’t need to be daunting; watercolor is a versatile painting medium that’s been around even before the invention of watercolor sets in the 18th century or the influence of the English school that helped popularize the craft in continental Europe.
