Create Art Backwards

Flip your expectations on their head and try a whole new approach to your art in this creative workshop! Designed for artists of all skill levels, this class will introduce you to a different way of seeing and creating your art. The concept is simple: use watercolor to create vibrant pops of color on your paper, then draw on the shapes and textures that form. By using your favorite drawing pen or colored pencils, you can carve out shapes and patterns in a process that feels intuitive and inspiring. You’ll be amazed at how a bit of watercolor can spark ideas and give weight to your drawings and doodles!

What You Will Learn:

  • Overview of Reverse Coloring Techniques: Learn the core concepts and the ways it can stimulate ideas.
  • Colorful Wash Creation: Practice producing a textured watercolor wash filled with blobs and colors to serve as a vibrant backdrop for your doodling.
  • Doodling on Washes: Draw, doodle, and experiment with lines and shapes found in the watercolor textures.
  • Build Weight & Volume: Use strategic watercolor placement to give your drawings more body.
