Agnes Franzak Our watercolour courses do feature some studio time, but getting outdoors in the natural landscape can have a whole host of benefits: creatively, mentally and fantastic for all-round well-being. Line and wash is where painting and drawing meet, combining the strengths of each in one piece of art. It is perfect for executing lively and characterful portraits. It can be rapid and, due to the reassurance of the line, it is often easier to be free with the washes, which will add great energy and expression to a portrait compared to line alone. If you aspire to paint more loosely in watercolour then line and wash is a great stepping stone. With watercolor painting, you can explore your inner artist without the precision that other drawing and painting often require. Watercolor painting lets you slow down and see the world how you want. The paintings are interpretive, and if your line isn’t straight, you don’t have to worry. Watercolors are all about learning to slow down and get in touch with the artist that’s inside everyone. Watercolour paint is created from a mixture of natural or synthetic pigments. It also includes gum arabic which is a natural ‘glue’ created from the sap of the thorny Acacia tree.
