Vintage Wash: Soft Watercolor and Ink is a two-session class where you’ll learn a simple “resist” trick with ink that creates a beautiful, soft vintage look.
What you’ll do
We’ll work from your own photo reference and build a watercolor painting step by step. Then we’ll use white paint as a simple “resist” (it blocks the ink) to add detail and create that soft, vintage feel. This is a guided class with plenty of time to ask questions and experiment.
What you’ll learn
How to simplify a photo reference so it is easy to paint
Watercolor basics like water control, layering, and drying
The “resist” technique - using white gouache to block ink for highlights and texture
Great for: Beginner (helpful if you have tried watercolor before, but not required).
