Line and wash masterclass with Liz Chaderton
Overview
Learn how to paint a wonderful macaw in this 2-hour online masterclass with professional artist, Liz Chaderton.
Details
In this two-hour masterclass recording, Liz Chaderton demonstrates how to paint a wonderful macaw using line and wash, and in the process, explore capturing movement and flight using hard and soft edges, expressive linework and glowing colours. During the session, you'll explore mark-making and capturing the essence of your subject. The lessons you learn can be applied to many subjects, not just birds in flight.
Line and wash is where drawing and painting meet, each bringing something to the painting. The line often adds definition and contour, while the washes add character and emotion. Liz will start with the line work and then add washes of watercolour to bring life to our piece.
