Water Color

Step 1 – Choose Your Scene.

Decide a subject on what you would like to a watercolor art from a reference image or create an imaginary one. I am doing a small coffe shop.

Step 2 – Sketch Your Composition

Lightly sketch the coffee shop scene on your watercolor paper using a pencil. Pay attention to the placement of elements you want to include.

Step 3 – Mix Your colors

Prepare a palette with the watercolor paints you’ll use. Start with the colors you’ll need for the coffee shop’s interior and exterior. Create a range of colors for walls, furniture, and decorative elements.

Step 4 – Begin Painting

Start by wetting the paper slightly with clean water using a large brush. This helps the colors to blend more smoothly.
Begin painting the background elements such as walls and the sky. Work from light to dark colors and allow each layer to dry before adding the next.

Step 5 – Add Details

Gradually add details like coffee cups, people, and any other elements in the coffee shop. Use a smaller brush for finer details.

Step 7 – Texture and Texture

Use techniques like dry brushing, splattering, or lifting color with a clean, damp brush to create texture in your painting. This can mimic the texture of wooden furniture, brick walls, or other surfaces.

Step 8 – Final Details

After the painting has dried, add any final touches, such as signages, window reflections, or subtle texture to objects.
