Looking for a Beginner Watercolor Tutorial, but having trouble finding one that matches your level? It is true that if the tutorials are multiplying on the Web, they are sometimes reserved for people who already know watercolor techniques . However, if you simply want to learn about watercolor painting, it is more difficult to find a watercolor model for beginners and simple explanations.

Beginner watercolor tutorial: a new easy method

When you want to learn about a creative hobby like watercolour , without necessarily intending to be a watercolourist, it is sometimes difficult. In addition to drawing lessons or academic painting lessons, there are videos on You Tube.

While the former are expensive and won't bring you immediate results, the latter don't explain the basics or dwell on technical gestures.

As a beginner in watercolor , you are therefore looking for a solution to learn the basic techniques. You don't necessarily want to learn to draw? Do you simply want to learn watercolor and quickly create your first creation?

Our brand, French Kits , has developed a unique concept with an easy method. Thus, we offer creative kits with printed watercolor paper . You don't need to make a sketch, the outlines of the drawing are there to help you color it.

It is the pleasure that takes precedence, that of painting with a result that arrives after 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes of relaxation and creation.

Beginner watercolor technique: learn and progress

To acquire different watercolor techniques , you must first practice. This involves discovering the intensity of colors. Watercolor is a water-based paint that can create various effects depending on whether it is more or less diluted.

Watercolor tutorial and techniques for beginners

To understand this alchemy, the first step is to complete a color chart. Thus, you identify the different shades that the color takes depending on the amount of water added. The color palette included in each of our kits is made up of 3 perfectly coordinated watercolor tablets.

These artisanal watercolors , whose pigments are prepared by hand, offer you the guarantee of not making mistakes in the color associations. You will have a harmonious composition. This will save you from buying many expensive buckets without knowing if the tones really go together.

This preliminary exercise with the color chart is offered in each of our creative kits, but it is not the only one. Each French kits pattern includes another exercise that is based on a specific watercolor technique . You will explore in turn wet work, overlays, gradients, transparency, negative or fusion. This exercise allows you to test each technique before you start on the model.

Indeed, the first paper printed in black, has well-defined contours. This will be your first coloring! A second paper with a lighter print will allow you to improve the rendering of your watercolor. Finally, the last sheet of watercolor paper presents only a drawing with tenuous lines: you gradually free yourself from the outline and now have a perfect mastery of a watercolor technique .

Follow our technical booklet and video watercolor tutorial . You will learn while creating your first watercolor!

Our goal is to allow you to acquire technical bases, while having fun. Our bias is to make creative hobbies accessible to everyone by eliminating the most delicate stages, such as drawing here.

This allows you to progress in the colorization of the patterns, and to apply various techniques. This initiation to watercolor will allow you, if you wish, to free yourself from printed paper, then to launch yourself serenely into this artistic activity.
