This class is aimed at beginners and intermediate painters. There are scans, drawing, and tracing templates included for each project to help you transfer your drawing over quickly and easily.
In this class, I narrate my demonstrations in real-time. I explain every technique I use in the context of the painting, such as layering into wet areas to paint shadows of a tree or building. I'll be going over the essentials of layering wet-in-wet and wet in dry watercolour. I'll talk about what materials you'll need, and which ones I use and recommend. If you have some brushes, a pen, watercolor paints, and paper, then you're set to go.
So join me in this class – let's create some beautiful line and wash paintings that you can be proud of!
In this class, I will cover basics such as:

• How to use various watercolour techniques such as wet-in-dry, wet-in-wet, pulling out paint, lifting, splatter, and dry-brush in different contexts.
  
• Understanding water control and mixing in watercolour painting
  
• How to use different brushes in different circumstances
  
• How to use perspective to create depth and plan your scene according to a vantage point of your choosing
  
• How to Draw and compose your painting – as well as separate theoretical and technical lessons, each project includes a planning component where you will learn how to sketch a basic blueprint for your painting. I will show you how to place the horizon line, and how to quickly and accurately sketch in the reference photo. I will also talk about how I use my sketch to plan out the steps of my watercolor painting afterwards
  
• How to use complementary colours to create vibrancy and interest in your watercolour paintings
  
• How to paint skies, mountains, water, trees, shadows, buildings and figures in a soft and loose manner, using a combination of wet-in-wet and wet-in-dry techniques. I'll talk about how and when to wet your watercolor paper to obtain particular results such as the appearance of soft clouds, and when to paint in more rigid and accurate shapes once the paper has dried
