Learn the secrets to capturing the beauty of age and weathering in watercolor. In this course, we will explore the techniques needed to paint a variety of textures, including the rustic charm of weathered buildings, the faded elegance of old doors, and the character of rust-covered objects. You’ll learn how to layer washes, use dry brush techniques, and work with subtle color variations to create realistic, textured effects that tell a story.
