During my creative workshops, I like to pass on as much information as possible and support my students excitement about what they have learned. Although I think I get more excited than they do, as I love sharing information and helping people learn something new. Whilst in the excitement bubble, important information and often key steps of a process can often be forgotten. So I like to give my students access to support materials, often used to jog their memory and help them have a go once they get home.
Here is a workshop guide on how to create the several types of a watercolour wash. Enjoy!
A watercolour wash is a layer of diluted colour that can be quite transparent. In preparation, the colour / pigment is diluted with water to achieve the preferred water to pigment ratio. Commonly, a wash is applied to create a background or to help the user achieve layers of colour. Watercolour layers are based on building layers from light to dark, so mastering watercolour washes is a great way to progress.

This free resource was put together to support my workshop students. You may or may not have attended one of my workshops but I hope this may help you on your watercolour journey.
