Sooo many beginners skip over building up solid water and brush control via basic exercises, before attempting full paintings.
Most of the time, this leads to unnecessary frustration and, of course, results that you're not very happy with. 🫤
Here are some exercises that I always have my students work on in the beginning of their journeys, which help them get to know the medium better, as well as start developing much-needed water and brush control.
🖌️Brushstrokes:
1. Thin lines
2. Thick lines
3. Thick to thin lines
4. C Strokes
5. Flicking
6. Bouncing
7. Bouncing + Scribbling Combo
8. Scribbling
9. Dark to light lines
🌊 Washes:
10. Flat
11. Graded (Dark to light)
12. Color to color gradient
