Hi, I’m Eugenia and I will be your teacher for this class. I am a watercolour enthusiast who mainly focuses on food illustration. In this class I will be demonstrating a painting of a loose watermelon slice that is painted freehand without drawing prior to painting. This class consists of a quick warm up and exercise to introduce you to the wet on wet technique including how to doodle or draw the watermelon slice.

Throughout this class I will be painting in real time, so hopefully everyone can follow along. However I would always recommend to watch the class prior to painting along, so you know what to expect to come next. And if any of you feel like you need time to paint along, please feel free to pause the video in between so you can tackle the painting at your own personal pace.

This class is quite short and casual compared to my normal class format, and the painting is quite simple. However if you're very new to watercolours, and need more time to get the hang of the technique and drawing, I suggest that you repeat the exercise as many times as you need. One of the exercises is to paint the watermelon slice in a simplified way, and if you want to turn the exercise itself into a painting, I will have a youtube video on my channel; Nianiani, of this painting, that you will be able to follow along to, for extra practice. Happy painting everyone! :)
