Watercolor Painting: Easy Autumn Scenes for Beginners

via Skillshare

Overview

Painting leaves has to be one of my most favorite things to do especially in the fall when trees begin to change color.  I often take photos of my walks in nature, and of the forest floor observing all the color, pattern, and textures of fallen leaves from the surrounding trees. 

In this beginner watercolor class, I teach you fundamental watercolor techniques as we paint our own modern interpretation of the forest floor filled with fallen leaves.

My goal is help boost your watercolor knowledge and confidence as you learn how to paint depth in your fall watercolor piece while we explore key watercolor techniques.  You will practice painting wet-on-wet, light to dark, and lifting, to create highlights in ways that are easy, modern and addicting!

I'm a firm believer that the best way to learn new techniques is to do so by painting something fun, that allows for repetition and practice as you master your new techniques!  I've designed this class in a way that gets you learning as you paint while we work on a finished piece together in under an hour!

I hope you click enrol and join me in class as we learn how to paint depth to create some modern and interesting leaves for our fall scene.

See you in class!
