Fast Watercolor Painting Design Techniques:
(For
Paintings In Less Than 15 Minutes)
Florida Watercolor Artist Roy Fuller uses
the following techniques to do his Fast
Watercolor Paintings in Less Than 15
Minutes. If your available painting time is
limited ,try these suggestions to speed up
and improve your paintings.
1).
Use proper
perspective
in your drawings. Poor perspective will
overpower great technique. Make sure objects
in the foreground are larger than objects in
the middle ground or back ground. Use
lighter values in the background and darker
in the foreground. This will give the
illusion of distance. Make sure your
buildings are larger in the foreground
compared to background buildings.
2). Use
one of the 4 major value patterns.
Artists long before my time determined that
the masters all used one of a few different
value patterns on all their paintings. There
are actually eight or nine different
patterns but you can do hundred's of
paintings with just one or two of them.
Study the patterns and pick the one you like
best and stick with it for a while. You will
see a huge improvement in you overall
paintings. This is one of the single most
important things you can do to improve your
paintings.
3).
Use shapes
and symbols
instead of
trying to reproduce what you see in nature.
Develop your own set of symbols for rocks,
trees, mountains, oceans, etc. This is how
many artist find themselves or develop their
own personal painting styles. Study the
symbols other artists use but try to build
your own set of symbols.
4).
Use papa,
mama and baby
symbols and shapes.
Don't add dozens of rocks, trees, buildings,
shapes, etc to your paintings. You really
only need a big one, a medium sized one and
a small one to convey most landscape
concepts. Adding to many of them makes the
painting look overworked and makes it more
difficult to add variety to the symbols and
shapes.
5).
Use variety
in your shapes and symbols.
Make one tall, one short. One wide and one
narrow. One dark and one lighter. Be
especially aware of variety when using
alternation and repetition. The shapes must
include a variety of size, shape, color,
contrast, value, direction and dominance.
6).
Don't put your
center of interest in the middle.
This is a very common problem with novice
painters. Make sure your COI is not an equal
distance to either side of the paper. Put it
in the upper right, upper left, lower right
or lower left side of the paper.
7).
Try to
incorporate the greatest contrast around
your center of interest.
For example surround your COI with your
darkest value and use a white COI for
maximum contrast and focus on your COI.
8).
Use three different values in your paintings.
Use light, mid-value and dark values in your
paintings. This is not color, it's the
darkness or lightness of your colors. I
suggest a mid-value background (sky, water,
foreground), with a large dark interesting
shape about 1/3 to 1/4 the size of the mid
value area, and a light (or white) shape
overlapping the dark shape.
9).
Use
interlocking edges
on your shapes and
symbols when possible. First use an
interesting shape and then interlock it with
the shape it is overlapping. This can also
be referred to as incident at the edges. You
want your shape to intrude into other shapes
with interesting edge incidents. This could
be an antenna sticking up from a roof top of
a house or a tree extending up from your
dark shape into the sky. This is called edge
interlocking and makes your shapes
interesting.
10).
Use oblique
or diagonal shapes
when possible as they signal action or
movement in a painting. This is more
interesting than a static object.
If you employ the
above design techniques and suggestions into
your paintings you will have a much more
interesting watercolor panting. These design
techniques also apply to oil, pastel,
acrylic and mixed media paintings as well.
Roy's Painting method is very relaxed un-rushed. It's the planning
and process that makes it quick.

Here's A 12 Minute
Beach Painting
Watercolor Painting Tips:
Actually Florida Watercolor Artist Roy
Fuller prefer doing his paintings in
less than 15 minutes. He completely wets
both sides of the watercolor paper after
sketching his design on the paper. As the
watercolor paper is drying in the next 12 to
15 minutes he applies the sky, the distant
foliage, the foreground and by this time the
paper is usually almost dry. Now before the
watercolor paper is completely dry he
scratches in some trees, buildings and other
objects. By now the paper will be dry and
it's time to add details with a liner brush.
This is also a good time to add some hard
edges to the outside of your symbols. You
need to collect your own symbols for objects
and use them in all your paintings. Never
paint exactly what you see or how something
in real life would look. You have to use
your symbol collection for your trees,
buildings, rocks, boats, etc. Simplify
everything in your paintings. You only need
three size of each symbol, a small, a medium
and a large. That's really all you need. Don't
clutter up your paintings with dozens of
trees. All you really need is three unique
trees with different size, height, width,
value and texture. It's really that simple!

A Word About My Workshops
My workshops are designed
especially for anyone not having a lot of
experience in watercolors or someone developing
a frustration level with watercolors. You'll
learn the basics of design and composition to
make your watercolor paintings advance to the
next level. You don't need any painting
experience or watercolor background to paint 15 minute
watercolors. I'll show you everything you need
in my workshops. You also don't need any
special drawing skills as we only use very basic
outline drawings.
I am constantly surprised
at the number of watercolor artists that don't use proper design and
composition techniques in their watercolor
paintings. Variety, Alternation, Repetition,
Dominance in your textures, values, shapes,
symbols and colors will make your paintings come
alive. Value Sketches,
Center Of Interest, Diagonals and Obliques will
make your paintings interesting. Even the
master painters of the 16 century used these
design techniques in their
paintings. Proper design, composition and
perspective is a must if you want your paintings
to "POP" with freshness. I'll show you
how to simplify your paintings to abstract
shapes and symbols before you start a painting.
My painting technique
utilizes the basic foundations of the watercolor
medium: Paint quickly with big brushes using
the minimum number of brush strokes. This is
really the secret of doing fresh, spontaneous
and transparent watercolor paintings. Get in
quick and get out, and don't go back in again.
I call my painting method "Watercolor
Paintings in Less Than 15 Minutes". I'll
show you how to use some design techniques that
will allow you to paint beautiful watercolors in
less than 15 minutes. You'll be amazed how easy
it is to paint a watercolor painting. Anyone
can do 15 minute watercolor paintings. I
only focus on the basic design concepts that
will make your watercolor paintings come to life
in One Day Workshops. I only use the the
three primary watercolor paints (Red, Yellow and
Blue) and three different sizes of big paint
brushes ( 2 inch, 1.5 inch and 1/2 inch flat
brushes). So the supplies are relatively
inexpensive.

Florida Watercolor
Workshops are focused on the basics necessary to make a
watercolor painting come together. Things like
composition, doing
a
value sketch
before you start painting,
Simplifying your design, basic design elements
and principles that make up a great painting. These are the
things that will breath life into your watercolor paintings.
Keeping your painting applications and techniques fresh.
His technique involves wetting the entire watercolor paper
completely before applying any watercolor paints. Then
applying watercolor
paint quickly with the
minimum number of brush strokes.
The paper dries in 14 minutes so you have to work fast.
Another couple minutes to work on some details and the
watercolor painting is finished. By painting quickly
with big brushes
and employing the minimum number of brush strokes you will
have the most spontaneous, fresh looking and transparent
watercolor paintings possible. You only need a rigger brush
to sign your name with. Always use the biggest brush
possible for what you are painting. I often use a 3 inch
flat brush on a 1/4 sheet watercolor painting. Attend a
Florida Watercolor Workshop and learn how to put it all
together.

Florida Watercolor Artist Roy Fuller
Biography
"Florida
Watercolor Artist Roy
Fuller is an internationally known
Watercolor Artist
&
Watercolor Workshop
instructor and has been painting
watercolors for more than 25 years. He is the
Number
One internet artists for
"International Watercolor
Workshops",
"Florida
Watercolor Workshops",
he is also one of
the Top Internet artists for
"International Watercolor Artists" Roy
Fuller is also the Founding Editor
for
International Watercolors.com,
the Internet's # 1 "International
Watercolors"
and "International
Watercolor Artists"
website for
all talented Watercolor Artists. Roy
offers opportunities for emerging
as well as professional watercolor artist to show off their
watercolor paintings online
internationally. Roy painted in oils
doing the
Bob Ross technique for many years and
then switched to watercolor painting about
20 years ago because of the clean up
associated with oil painting. The price of
oil paints and canvas is also much more
expensive than watercolor paints and
watercolor paper.
Roy Fuller lives in Southwest Florida just a few
miles from the world famous art town of
Matlacha, Florida. Roy is an Engineer and
is always looking for more
technical ways to make his paintings better.
He focuses
on only a few of the rules or tools of
painting and design. He relies on his
experience of these design theories, but
does not dwell on them to much during the
painting process. Roy is also an avid tennis
player and finds he plays his best tennis
when he simply keeps his eye on the ball
and forgets all his training. When you paint
a painting in less than 15 minutes you have
to stay focused. You don't have time to
think about what to do, or changes to make, you just do it from
instinct and training. The same as playing your best
tennis. It's called
being in the zone. You
have to free your mind of all the training
and rigid formalities and just play the
ball. Let your intuitions guide your brush
and your subconscious will always be aware
of the rules and tools of painting that you
have learned. You need to think
Abstract
Shapes
when you are designing your paintings.
Design the shapes in your painting as if you
are doing an abstract painting and then
simplify your painting to basic
shapes &
symbols.
Developing your own set of symbols
for objects is when most artists
find themselves as an artist. It's
these set of symbols and shapes that
set you apart for all the other
artists. You
have to bring something different to
the table to make your mark as an
artist. For many years I had just
tried to copy the painting style of
other artists.
Then I realized what I needed
as a watercolor painter.
Roy's style of
watercolor painting takes less than 15 Minutes and many
watercolor painting projects can be
completed in less time. His techniques
allow you to paint quickly. He focuses
his workshops on painting design and
techniques and makes sure his students
have a solid design and then how to
apply the watercolor
paint quickly with as few brush strokes as possible.
This gives you a fresh and glowing painting in less than
15 minutes."
Beginners and professionals find
Roy's Fast Watercolor Painting style
is easy to adapt to and opens many
doors of possibilities. Even
watercolor artists that do detailed
watercolor paintings will discover ways to implement Roy's
techniques by doing quick under
paintings or initial watercolor
washes that they can add details (or
possibly overwork) the painting
afterwards.
Roy doesn't use a liner brush or
small brushes at all. He lets his
process of painting do the minute
details in his painting. Examine all
the details in his art work and keep
in mind it's all done with BIG
brushes and the minimum number of
brush strokes. He would rather end
up with an un-finished painting
than an over worked painting. You
can always add details with a liner
brush such as limbs, shadows, etc.
If you overwork the painting or
create mud then you cannot fix it
after words.
Most people don't have hours, days or even
weeks to complete a watercolor painting.
Roy Fuller can teach you how to paint
beautiful 15 minute spontaneous watercolors!
Many of his paintings are
completed in less than 12 minutes. The
quicker you can complete a watercolor
painting the more fluid and spontaneous it
will look. The secret is doing all your
planning and design before you start
painting and use big brushes and the minimum
number of brush strokes.
It's really a
very simple process,
but most watercolor artists make it too
complicated.
Keep
It Simple!
Many times Roy will have his
students paint a watercolor painting without
a sketch or an idea of what they are
painting. This is letting the painting paint
itself and can only happen when you're doing
wet into wet watercolors. Some of his best
watercolor paintings were completed this
way. Just wet the paper and apply one color
while immediately introducing another color
and letting the colors blend on the paper.
This method is somewhat similar to Oil Painter
Bob Ross. He would just start painting the
clouds, then add a mountain and then he
would see a tree here and a rock there. He
would point out all the Happy Accidents as
he called them. These are usually what makes
a painting special. The same thing happens
in watercolors if you let the paint flow
freely. Roy's fast painting method also get
the student comfortable with watercolors.
Students learn not to fear what the paint is
going to do but rather embrace it and enjoy it and have fun
letting the watercolors flow freely.
Also painting on 1/4 sheets
instead of full sheets takes the pressure
away from students. They have 8
opportunities to paint a great painting from
one full sheet of watercolor paper. Four on
the front side and four on the back sides of
the 1/4 sheets. Some of my best paintings
were done on the back of failed watercolor
paintings. Hey it's part of the history of
the painting you are doing and makes the
painting more valuable. If you see a
watercolor painting is going south, throw it
aside and let it dry. In the meantime grab
another 1/4 sheet and start again and again
if necessary. You have 8 shots to get it
right. Then pick the best of the eight
paintings for your final painting.
Roy's Painting method is very relaxed
and not rushed. It's the planning, the design and the techniques that
makes it quick.
I put my palette between me
and the easel. This way I have to hold my
arms out in front of me and use my arms to
paint instead of my wrists or fingers on the
brush. This gives you better relaxed brush
strokes and eliminates the tendency to put
in to much detail and overwork the painting.
Roy Fuller's -

Watercolor Workshop
Roy
decided after several years of oil painting that it was time to move on to a
more spontaneous process. A painting process
and technique that doesn't require weeks or
months for the paintings to dry completely.
Watercolors dry quickly and you can make
corrections quickly.
Watercolor is a medium
that uses very inexpensive art supplies
compared to other painting mediums. You can
sit down for 3o minutes and finish a nice
watercolor painting. Very similar time frame
that it took
Bob Ross to paint his beautiful
oil paintings on television.
Roy has studied
the books, DVD's and workshops and
techniques of watercolor artists including
Tony
Couch, Tom Lynch, Cathy Johnson, Judi
Wagner, Edgar Whitney, Skip Lawrence, John
Lovett, Sterling Edwards, Tony Van Hasselt,
and many
other watercolor artists. It has taken Roy many years to
perfect his style of
FAST
WATERCOLOR PAINTING.
He completes his paintings in less than 15
minutes and often less than 12 minutes by
simplifying his paintings and planning the
painting before starting and using a strong
design.
He has
learned to utilize the special qualities and
characteristics of watercolors like
spontaneous color mixing using wet into wet
for most of the painting.
Done with big brushes this keep your
painting loose and fresh. It also takes the
work out of watercolor painting and makes it
FUN
to
paint again! Roy adds very little if any
details to his paintings with smaller
brushes. The small details will paint
themselves with this technique if you only
let them and don't resist letting Happy
Accidents happen.
The
best way to bring all this information
together and improve your watercolor
paintings. Even if your style of watercolor
painting depends on detailed paintings that
take hours or days to render, you will still benefit
greatly from learning how to paint quick and
loose under paintings that you will add
washes or glazes to later. Also all the
design concepts discussed in his workshops
apply to all mediums of painting. These are
the same design techniques utilized by the
masters of painting for centuries.

Painting Tips

Painting Technique
-
Simplify your subject.
Watercolors really "pop" when you
show only the basic ingredients
needed. Don't add to many trees,
buildings, rocks, mountains, etc. If
you are painting a photograph, use
design techniques to reduce
un-necessary clutter in the
painting.
You want your center of interest
to be the star of the show.
Make everything else in the painting
point to the center of interest.
"Only One Star Should Shine In Your
Paintings"
Roy
Fuller 2002
Painting Technique
- Always
get the paper as wet as
you can
before you begin applying watercolor
paints. Depending on your environment you may only
have
7 minutes before the paper starts to dry.
"Plan
Like A General & Paint Like A
Beaver"
Roy
Fuller 2000
Painting Technique
-
Don't dilute your paint to the point of
liquid. For painting the beach, the foreground
trees and bushes
you want your paint to be like toothpaste.
This will give you a little more control over the
wet in wet process also.
"Use
Your Happy Accidents To Make Your
Paintings Special."
Roy
Fuller 2003
Painting Technique
-
Paint from wet to dry, from large shapes to small shapes, and from
light values to dark values. All this is done while the painting is
drying in the first 7 minutes and also as you apply additional
watercolor washes or details.
"Try
Letting The Painting Paint Itself,
You Might Be Surprised"
Roy
Fuller 2004
Painting Technique
-
Use larger brushes such as 3 inch, 2 inch and 1 1/2 inch flat
brushes and paint as quickly as possible. Once you paint something -
don't go back into it again. This
will keep the painting fresh
looking.
"I'd
Rather Have An Un-Finished Painting
Than An Over Worked Painting. You
Can Always Add Details To An
Un-Finished Painting, But There's No
Fix For An Over Worked Painting. Get
In And Get Out Quickly."
Roy
Fuller 1999
Painting Technique
-
Don't try applying the paint uniformly as this is not always pleasing to
the viewer. Instead
add some variety in your brush strokes, the paint mixture, the size of shapes,
the value of shapes, the number of shapes.
"Variety is the
spice of everything nice"
Roy Fuller 2001.
Painting Technique
- Apply paint with your brush quickly. Don't stay in
one spot going back and forth, move around the paper in light, sweeping
strokes and changing your direction continuously. It's the variety in
your brush strokes you want to focus on.
Always use variety in
you painting from the design to the completion. Always paint trees
different heights, width, texture, values and colors. The same goes for
rocks, mountains, people, clouds and everything else.
"Design Slow and Paint Fast"
Roy Fuller 2005.
Painting Technique
I always do best when I
paint on a slight angle.
You can experiment slanting your board upward off a flat table by
placing a book, etc. under the outside edge. I usually paint with
my backboard in the vertical position so my students can see better.
