Hello and Welcome!

In this class, I invite you to dive into the fantastic watercolor world while painting a beautiful fish. Beginners are super welcome: since we go slowly and step-by-step, you don't need to have any previous experience. I'll walk you through the whole process of creating your own fish for your final project.

Painting with watercolors can sound scary, but it shouldn't. I'm very happy to share with you my own way of painting and some tips and tricks that I developed through the years. You just need to want to learn and explore with me!

In this class you'll learn:

About the Material: When we paint with watercolours, using the correct material is crucial. I will show you my art supplies and give you some suggestions for types of paper, paints and brushes. I'll also show you some special tools that I use when I paint and recommend acrylic white paint for the details.
Technique: You will learn how to make your watercolors completely fade (gradient effect), how to mix colors in a beautiful way (color blending) and also how to paint easy shapes and add details (white lining). We'll also work on transparencies in the different exercises, one of the prettiest effects of watercolors.
Sketching and Painting a Fish: You will apply all that you've learned to your final project, painting your own fish.
And also, a Bonus: We'll transform some of the shapes you've previously done to create an extra project, your own family of fish. Wait for it! :)

I can't wait to see all your projects and also your work in progress. Don't forget that I will be here the whole time to answer all your questions and see your progress. Join me!
