What is splattering in watercolor, when would you use it and how do you use it? In this video I feature use of splattering to help add another dimension to watercolour, to give more interest and texture to the scene especially useful to give the effect of walls on old buildings. The subject is Pisa, Italy.

In this demo I will be covering...

1) Choice of Subject. What makes a good watercolor subject. How to simplify the scene.

2) Materials I use such as the paper. I will also cover the paints I use and the palette, plus how I hold the different brushes for different techniques.

3) Doing the outline sketch as the first step. How to draw figures in a street scene and a car.

4) Doing the sky and the first wash of the background and then the foreground.

5) Shadows and details of the figures and buildings.

6) Splattering used on the buildings and large shadow areas.
