Beginners Guide to reflect inner self - A Polaroid Series

via Skillshare

This course may be unavailable.

Overview

Beginners Guide to Reflect Inner self is a class which will help you to embark on a journey of painting polaroids curated around 21 ideas. All the paintings are with watercolor and with every painting we will learn one new technique like wet on wet, wet on dry, variegated wash. Each and every painting is different and unique in itself.

This class is broken into various sections each working around one single idea and each of the section is focused to help any watercolor beginner to enhance their skillset. Along with that it would even motivate any art enthusiast to use all the learnings from the lessons into their own future paintings. We will end up working on 21 Polaroid Projects.

Subjects that we will be touching upon through each of these polaroids are as follows:

  • Landscape
  • Seascape
  • Forests
  • Mountains
  • Reflection
  • Beaches
  • Florals
  • Urban Sketching
  • Sunrise & Sunset

**Caution - Watercolor does have its own randomness and flow, therefore it is important to partner with the medium.
