Hi, my name is Gaby and I’m so excited because today I’m going to teach you one of my favorite watercolor techniques: negative painting. I love this technique because it’s simple, it’s so relaxing, I can spend hours and hours on it, and the results are stunning.

In this class, you’re going to create a negative painting from scratch. I’m going to explain what negative painting is and how it's done; then we’re going to do some practice exercises to develop the skills you’ll need to create a good negative painting and finally, we’re going to jump into our project, starting with the sketch and adding each layer of paint step by step.

I created this class with beginners in mind, so you don’t need any prior experience with watercolors. In fact, this technique is very beginner-friendly and it was one of the first techniques that I learned when I was starting out. You don’t even need to know how to draw, because I’m going to provide you with the template.

For this class all you’ll need is eager to learn and the following supplies:

1) Watercolor paints

2) Watercolor paper

3) A round brush nº 4, 6 or 8

4) A rigger brush nº 0

5) Two jars of water

6) A paper towel

7) A ruler

8) A pencil

9) An eraser

10) A protractor (or any round object)

By the end of this class, you’ll have a finished negative painting and a new skill that you can apply to any future watercolor painting.

So what are you waiting for? I see you in the first lesson! :)
