In this class, I will be teaching you how to paint a Loose Watercolor Landscape Painting using a reference photo but adding your own touch to it. I will show you basic watercolor techniques and will demonstrate how you can make a simple painting interesting by just adding a few small details and marks. This class is perfect for all levels.

A former art teacher and now an independent full-time artist, I am so excited to be teaching on Skillshare and I truly hope you find this corner of your space comforting, inspiring, and encouraging! Can't wait to connect with you all!
