Join me in my Summer watercolor class as we splash into some refreshing ocean fun together swimming in beautiful blues from teal to indigo. In this piece we enjoy a deep dive into the ocean with a crashing frothy wave, alongside fun-in-the-sun surf boards in bright green, blues and yellow. Feel free to modify this class using a picture from your summer vacation and add it to your Travel Journal or Sketchbook.

If you enjoy the excitement of complementary colors and exploring how the wet-on-wet technique offers a beautiful blend, this class is for you. Fish are also beautiful, so be sure to check out my previous Summer classes on bright tropical fish, sea horse, turtle, and goldfish!

Throughout this project, I’m offering valuable watercolor skills and techniques. While teaching I demonstrate, explain, and offer close-up videos in real time to assist in the learning process. Feel free to stop and re-watch these videos, and speed up or slow down the speed along the way as often as needed to complete each step and make your experience the way you feel most comfortable. The skills you’ll learn will easily transfer to your future artwork and elevate your painting abilities, and boost your confidence.

WHAT YOU’LL GET OUT OF THIS CLASS

This class teaches a variety of important watercolor techniques. I offer pro-tips in writing on screen along the way as well as paint color and ratios of water:paint mixes to help you in the learning process.

Here are some highlights of the techniques we cover:

Wet-on-Wet Technique
Layering Marks Creating Texture
Glazing
Lifting out Highlights
Adding Shading for Dimension

WHAT LEVEL OF CREATIVE IS THIS CLASS FOR?

Beginners and Up: The videos are close up, clear, and concise, along with verbal explanations and written tips. Every ability painter can expect to end with a good outcome.

Note: If you’ve never painted before, take one of my other classes first to become familiar with watercolor and then come back to this class. Beginners will be fine in this class, take it step-by-step and I'm with you all the way.
