Learn to see the natural world in a new light as you paint detailed textures and patterns in an abstract way.
A lot of artists focus on painting the natural world in a very realistic way—in fact, that’s exactly what watercolor artist Rosalie Haizlett does in most of her professional work! But, in her spare time, she enjoys painting the textures and patterns that are all around us in a more loose, abstract way. And in this hour-long class—recorded using Zoom and featuring participation from the Skillshare community—she’ll walk you through exactly how she does it.
First you’ll flip through Rosalie’s camera roll to learn exactly how she zooms in on nature to find interesting patterns to paint. Then, you’ll world alongside her step-by-step as she turns her inspiration photo into a finished piece, learning some of her tricks for quickly adding a lot of detail and making it look like you spent hours on a painting. By the end, you’ll have a beautiful work of art and a new appreciation for the unlikely places you can find artistic inspiration.Â
This class is great for folks of any level to get in some watercolor practice, learn a few new techniques, and gain a keener eye for observing the world around you. Along the way, students who participated in the live class were able to ask questions, so you’ll also get deeper insight into Rosalie’s creative practice (and even a special peek into some of her sketchbooks).Â
