Play with colors by making a “color mixing table” as a basis for transparent watercolor

It is a curriculum that even beginners who are “almost new to using watercolors or haven't been in a long time” can learn with peace of mind.

First, you will learn the basics of watercolor illustration necessary to be able to draw food illustrations, such as how to use brushes and water, and how to mix colors.

First, we make a color sample called a “color mixing table” and check the amount of water and the color mixing ratio one by one. When I paint with watercolors, I sometimes encounter moments where new colors are born that I didn't even intend. It's also one of the pleasures of watercolors. I hope you can also experience the “fun of watercolor paint” that only the person who actually drew it can understand.

The main tools used in class are “25 Holbein Watercolor Paints,” which have beautiful and vivid colors, and a thin brush called “Camlon Pro.” I will introduce watercolor illustration techniques such as “how to move a brush” and “amount of water,” which are difficult to understand in sentences, in an easy-to-understand video. At the same time, creator Kinokko's unique coloring know-how and color selection methods will also be shown to the public! Let's complete the illustrations together while being healed by the colorful watercolors!

Using the “bleeding” peculiar to watercolors and the expression of light and shade to make it look more realistic, we will finish it like the real thing. We also introduce tips for inserting characters to create a retro atmosphere.
