This class project is to paint a watercolor illustration based on Your imagination or memory. I will give You tools and I will show You how to paint single elements and also the final illustration. You can decide if You want to choose other subjects and paint from your imagination (I encourage You to do so) or alternatively You can just paint the same illustration from the final project.

You will see how to paint single elements that I use for the final project. Even if they are not the subject of this classes's project and You don't have to paint them - I encourage You to do so. Also it would be great if you could share them with us, maybe one or more of them!

It would be also great to read what inspired You! Do you prefer to paint day or night scape, and why? What kind of brushes did you use and what strokes did you paint with them?
And for the final project... If you want then please share what was the source of inspiration for you – imagination or some of your memories? What memory was it?

Here are the explanations and outcomes of each lesson.
