Watercolour Goldfish on Aquabord Tutorial

Dive into the unique qualities of Aquabord with this intermediate-level watercolour class focusing on a vibrant “Goldfish on Aquabord.” Aquabord, a clay-coated panel known for its super absorbent surface, offers a distinctive approach to watercolour painting, allowing for easy lifting of paint and the creation of varied textures. This tutorial is perfect for those looking to expand their skills and explore new techniques.

What You’ll Learn:
  • Techniques for using Aquabord compared to traditional watercolour paper.
  • How to manipulate wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry techniques for dynamic effects.
  • Methods for lifting paint to enhance textural details and highlights of the goldfish.
Class Highlights:
  • Step-by-step guidance through the process of painting a goldfish on Aquabord.
  • Demonstrations of how to effectively use Aquabord’s unique surface.
  • Tips for mixing and applying colours to achieve a realistic and vibrant depiction of the goldfish.
Artist’s Insight:
This class offers an opportunity to explore how different surfaces affect the behaviour of watercolour paints. Aquabord’s texture and absorbency create a playground for both new and experienced artists to experiment with techniques that are not feasible on traditional paper, particularly focusing on the colourful and dynamic subject of a goldfish.

No Traffic, No Timetable, No Worries

Online courses are not just convenient, they're better. In our online classes, you get to pause, rewind, and revisit any part of the lesson you want. Missed a stroke? No dramas! Just go back and watch it again. Plus, all our classes are filmed in real-time and fully voiced over. That means you'll catch every stroke, every detail, and every step you need to nail that painting. It's like having a personal tutor on your screen, only better, because you're in total control. So what are you waiting for? Grab a brush, hit 'play', and let's get painting!

“I am taking an in person class and I learned more here today [in this YouTube video] than I have in 6 weeks of the class… Signing up based on this video!”

Irene

“You are an outstanding teacher and are always so explicit with your instructions that you make it almost impossible for us to fail when following your tutorials. You have a wealth of information that you are always so happy to share with us. I have not as yet found another teacher who teaches as well as you and I have certainly watched thousands of You Tube tutorials. You are the best and deserve all the recognition you get!”

Marion

“Just finished watching this tutorial (I always watch them before starting to paint them) and I wanted to say it's so helpful to have the reference photo showing while you paint. I find myself thinking what I would do next and where I would add color and then when you do it too I know I'm learning -- even before I put paint to paper. Thank you for your explanations and thorough descriptions of what you are doing. You are the best teacher!”
