Master the expressiveness, details, and layout of watercolor painting to produce stunning illustrations
The illustrator and teacher Carlos Rodríguez Casado is an expert in the watercolor technique. He works the organic textures with mastery, playing with the different effects that watercolor offers: from more worn textures that he applies in his cartoons to realistic details created through the superposition of layers for his innumerable portraits for publishing and press.
This is his third course at Domestika and perhaps his most personal one, as it shows the techniques he has developed in his career as an illustrator, based on his own observation of watercolor and how pigment and water interact on paper. He will show you how to apply the techniques in both dry and wet formats so that you’re able to illustrate a still from your favorite movie.
In his first course, Watercolor Portrait Sketchbook, Carlos introduces you to drawing and watercolor techniques to create spontaneous portraits anywhere; in his second, more advanced course, he shows you the keys and techniques to create a Caricature in Watercolor.

A course by Carlos Rodríguez Casado
Carlos Rodríguez Casado was born in Palencia (Spain) in 1993. He’s always been interested in drawing and art, the reason why he moved to Madrid to begin Graphic Design studies, leaving them later for those of Illustration.
He currently works as a press and editorial illustrator. His cartoons in watercolor have graced the pages of different national newspapers such as El Mundo, El Español, Interviú, Cambio 16, Líbero, and other international publications, as well as television media such as Movistar Cero, through a collaboration with Jot Down.
One of his pieces became the official image of the successful MTV series Teen Wolf, and it has been exhibited both in Times Square and at the Art Directors Club in New York.

Este curso me ha ayudado a entender por fin cómo se comporta el pigmento con el agua, y tener una buena base técnica, para evitar errores que cometía todo el tiempo sin saber por qué. Por eso lo recomiendo, no sólo para nivel intermedio sino también para comezar de una manera más exacta, y sentar una buena base entendiendo qué está pasando en el papel y por qué. El profesor lo explica muy bien y dando las claves para poder hacerlo uno mismo en casa.
Estoy aprendiendo mucho, muchas gracias!
