Watercolor is a very versatile medium, suitable to create quick and lively small sketches of landscapes, or landscapes in paintings of various sizes rendered in very expressive and evocative style or more detailed and elaborate works.
In this 6-online sessions watercolor course, you will learn to create original watercolor landscapes from photographic references, creating small sketches to study possible compositions, the color palette to use, and the methods of execution.
These studies will lead to a detailed drawing of the final composition that will be then transferred on a piece of watercolor paper for the final painting.
In this course, you will learn how to organize the creation of a photo informed painting from photographic references that can be used as inspiration and adapted to your vision or copying the photo references very accurately.
