Line and Wash Watercolor tutorial for beginners: Murano (Draw and paint along demonstration)

In this line and wash watercolor tutorial for beginners, we will create a scene of Murano. Draw and Paint along with me in this demonstration.

Getting started in Line and Wash? Watch this video and you'll learn simple techniques that will help you draw more accurately and confidently. You'll also gain a better understanding of how to choose colors to make a painting look more interesting and vibrant. Finally, you'll pick up valuable experience in implementing different watercolor techniques to convey light, shadows, and detail.

This is a subscriber-requested video - a few of you were asking me to go through how I draw in pen, some of the techniques I use, and my process. I picked a scene that wasn't too simple but also approachable for beginners. Half the video is based on planning and drawing (a very important step). I go through how I make simple measurements and estimations on how to place major shapes such as buildings accurately. I also show you how to determine where smaller objects/features such as poles or windows should be placed and how I plan out a drawing. I normally start drawing in the foreground first, as objects behind can be more easily added.

Comment and let me know what you think, would really appreciate any feedback. Good luck!
