Hi everyone, I'm Nia, and today I’m going to be taking you through today’s class. I’ll be painting an autumn doodle with mushrooms, autumn leaves, flowers, snails and so on. This is a super fun and easy class for all levels so come join me if you’re interested in drawing and painting along with me!

In this class I’ll be taking you through the whole stage, right from the very beginning of the planning, sketching, painting with watercolours, then I’m also going to add details using coloured pencils and then finished with some gold shimmers just for fun.

This doodle is very flexible, and since I’ll be showing you my planning stage, you can also use the method to include your own elements as well, but just like usual if you’d like to recreate this exact doodle, I will also have the outline available for you to download through the projects and resources section.

If you’ve never taken any of my classes, I’d like to give you a little disclaimer that I like to ever so slightly speed up my painting process, and cut through parts if my hands are either inactive or off the camera, usually when I’m in the middle of thinking things through, so by cutting and speeding up parts of the footage, I just find that it’s much easier to digest the information as it flows a bit better.

I would recommend for you to either watch the full class or some lessons prior to painting along just so you know the flow and the speed of the class, and when you’re ready to paint along, you can pause in between each step, and do your thing. This way you wont feel rushed and you’ll be painting at your own speed.

Like I mentioned at the beginning of this intro, this class is for all levels, you can also play around with the styles, colours and so on. It’s just one of those easy and fun projects that anyone can do, so if this sounds like fun for you, please come join me in this class!
