Anyone Can Paint: Learn to Paint 10 Easy Watercolor Sunsets

via Skillshare

Overview

​​If it’s been a long time since you had fun expressing yourself creatively and if you don’t know how to begin, I’m here to help you. I’m thrilled to invite you all to a beautiful beginner friendly watercolour class where we are together painting 10 mini sunsets and the best part is that each of them can be done in 10 minutes.

Sunsets are so beautiful, it is indeed a magical moment to witness the sky turning into a huge canvas. Sunset are a great inspiration for all the artists, you can learn about wonderful color combinations, light and hues and so much more. I love watching sunsets as well as painting them, you can do it too.

It's okay if you are an absolute beginner. There are a lot of misconceptions about art. Some believe that you have to be born with artistic talent to be an artist. Some others don’t consider themselves to be gifted artistically and feel there is no point in even trying since they won’t be satisfied with the results.

In fact anyone can do ART and everyone should do ART.

There is no need to feel intimidated about creating art since it’s the process of creating that provides the benefits, not the quality of the results. Creating art trains you to concentrate on details and pay more attention to your environment.

In this way, it acts like meditation.

Through this class I’m gonna take you through a beautiful journey where you are going to experience watercolors like never before. I want all of you to get more friendly with the medium and get more confident at it. Through this class I want to raise awareness that anyone can paint even if you are trying art for the first time, you just need some passion and patience. Alright! Let’s dive in!

You don’t have to have any particular artistic skills to get started. Ready to give it a try?
