🎨Week 2: Water & Flow - Day 1 Complete! 💧
Today our artists stepped into the world of fluid painting and discovered that watercolor is as much about Letting Go as it is about Control.
Students explored a variety of flow-based mediums, tested how different materials react with water, and created their own technique reference sheets before beginning a layered landscape inspired by mountains, forests, and reflective waters.
Along the way they experimented with:
✨ Watercolor inks
✨ Bleeding tissue paper
✨ Pigment powders
✨ Water-soluble media
✨ Wet-on-wet and layered painting techniques
One of the most valuable lessons of the day was learning that watercolor doesn’t always do exactly what you expect—and that’s part of its beauty. Students learned to observe, adapt, and use the natural movement of water to create expressive effects that simply can’t be achieved with other mediums.
The classroom was FULL of experimentation, discovery, and creative problem-solving as each artist developed their own unique interpretation of the landscape.
And this is only Day 1. ❤️
Tomorrow we’ll continue building these skills and we will explore new subjects, new layering techniques, and even more ways to make color flow across the page.
