Description
InOld Barn with Watercolor, you’ll embark on a step-by-step painting journey to bring a rustic barn scene to life using both watercolor and gouache. This 7-lesson series (approximately 2.5 hours total) is thoughtfully structured to guide you from the first pencil sketch through to the finishing details, giving you confidence and control with every stroke.

In Lesson 2, you’ll establish a soft watercolor underpainting-a wash that gently unifies the scene and sets the mood. From there, Lessons 3 and 4 focus on building contrast and depth by layering progressively darker washes. You’ll learn how to control saturation, transition values, and preserve luminosity in lighter areas.

Lessons 5 and 6 shift the focus to emergent detail, as you gradually develop the structure of the barn, its roof, and surrounding elements-leaning into patient layering, careful observation, and refining shapes. Finally, Lesson 7 brings it all home: the foreground is enriched with gouache applications that sharpen highlights, deepen shadows, and emphasize textures like wood or foliage.

Over the course, you’ll practice a balanced approach-utilizing the translucence of watercolor underlayers with the opacity of gouache accents-so your painting achieves both subtlety and strength.
