Live Encore: Painting Dark Watercolor Backgrounds

Learn to paint stunning, dark backgrounds with watercolors!

Getting rich, dark color with watercolor is possible, and using those colors as the backdrops of your paintings can create stunning contrasting effect. Paint along with watercolor artist and teacher Ana Victoria Calderón and learn how to build gorgeous, rich backgrounds in deep shades. You’ll get to follow along step by step as Ana builds layers of color to saturate her paper with pigment and add tonal depth to her background, and see firsthand how she creates her iconic pieces.

Paint along or just watch to be inspired by Ana’s artistic practice! Students who participated in the live session were able to ask questions, giving you the chance to learn even more details about Ana’s process and hear her advice for watercolor artists of all levels.
