In this class, we will be painting simple skies and silhouettes. Following the success of my Watercolour for Relaxation class, I wanted to give you even more inspiration for mini relaxing projects that are achievable for beginners but are also very rewarding and beautiful to look at!
I start by taking you though all the SUPPLIES that you will need, then we dive into a big PRACTICE SESSION, firstly looking at different techniques for painting backgrounds and skies, like graduated washes, variegated washes and soft clouds. Secondly in this practice session, we look at silhouettes - covering tips for basic and effective layout and composition, practicing values and brush control.Â
We then move on to the projects, where I take you through FIFTEEN PROJECTS, step by step in real time! You can do one project a day for 15 days if you like!
And then I show you a lot more examples of different paintings to give you tonnes of inspiration to take away with you.Â
With each of these projects, I show you how you can turn them into either polaroids or bookmarks. My vision is that you would keep these around your house on memo boards or use them in your books as bookmarks so you can see them regularly so you can enjoy them and be inspired to paint more!Â
For me, I find making these incredibly addictive and therapeutic and could sit and make them all day – so I hope you enjoy making them too.
In summary, this class is for you if...
  ...you are a beginner and want to learn lots of watercolor techniques, like how to paint smooth flat washes, graduated washes, variegated washes, how much water to use and how to control your brush
  ...OR you just want LOTS of inspiration for painting quick, simple and fun, relaxing projects!
Ok lets grab our supplies and start painting!
