Today we looked at the work of artist Koen Lybaert and explored his methods of applying watercolour and gouache paint on portrait oriented paper, and with a low horizon.
We used a sponge, water spray, or large wet brush to dampen our paper, and then we used ‘wet-in-wet’, layering, dry brush dragging, dripping and dropping. We used various materials to press into the damp paint to create textures, including clingfilm, plastic wrap, scrunched paper, fabric, masking tape, kitchen towels, and finger tips…
We did a lot of experimenting! Some of the images here are not quite finished, so keep your eyes peeled for updates in the coming weeks.
A really great session today, I enjoyed it very much and loved seeing everyone’s different, original and creative work, well done!
