Seascapes for Beginners : Learn to Paint 10 Easy Watercolor Seascapes

via Skillshare

Overview

Nothing is more synonymous with summer than the beach - and since we are about to welcome summer, I thought it would be a great idea to paint a collection of beautiful summer beach landscapes. I absolutely love teal and turquoise shades and this class is all about the beautiful color palette of tropical beaches and clear blue seas. In this class we will be together painting 10 unique and beautiful seascapes, each of them can be done in less than 30 minutes. 

This class is suited for artists of all skill levels, even if you have just started using watercolors this class works perfectly. This entire challenge is power packed with incredible techniques and wonderful class projects. I'm certain that by the end of this challenge you will not only have a stunning collection of seascapes but also you all will be a lot more confident in your watercolor skills 

I will guide you on the materials you need to get started. From choosing the right paper to mixing the right colors to the brushes needed to paint.
We will also do a thorough color study to make you comfortable with the basics before getting started.

All the painting we will do in this challenge are not complex, we will only be using basic techniques to make it a relaxing  and calming process. With each project, I will explain in detail the color palette before we begin the main project.
