WATERCOLOR RIVERS: — A new series of online workshops presented by Pablo Ruben Lopez Sanz.
Admit it, you can look at the water’s reflection endlessly! Only water gives a sense of constant movement in the static and living awe of nature.
We will learn how to realistically draw reservoirs in the urban environment following detailed lessons, created by the Spanish watercolor artist, Pablo Ruben Lopez Sanz. We will focus on the following drawings: Evening Tiber, Sunlit Scene, and Reservoir in the Burgas surroundings.
Pablo Ruben Lopez Sanz shares his watercolor approach -
“Firstly, I look for a captivating landscape. I travel a lot and I try to draw in unusual places. Then I make hundreds of sketches. I search for the right angle and always think about the composition. Afterwards, I sit down in the studio and finalize my drawing with all the details.”
The online workshop program includes:
- Learn how to draw the state of the environment through the image of water;
- Reveal the secrets of watercolors’ relation to water: the pigment’s concentration on brushes and the difference in the amount of water on paper;
- Pay special attention to coloristic and water drawing features at different times of the day with different lighting;
- Draw an evening urban landscape with calm water. Learn how to transmit light through color, draw water surface and reflection, show a state of peace and atmosphere.
- Create a landscape using a bright light. Show the composition through the calm state of brightly lit water;
- Draw the third etude – a rural sketch supplemented with greenery and a factory. Apply color and pay attention to the tone combinations. Harmonize the provincial landscape and water in the composition.
- Master the author’s life hacks to draw water in landscape sketches.
