Do you want to get better at painting expressive eyes with watercolour? Would you like to develop a creative habit?

Join me in this 30 day challenge and make creativity a habit while improving your watercolour skills!

After publishing my last watercolour class, Watercolour Portrait From A Photo, I came up with this challenge as a fun and rewarding way to consistently practise painting with watercolour.
In this class, you will learn how to paint expressive eyes with watercolour, and practise intensively for 30 days. We will be painting one eye a day, (of course, you can paint more, if you wish) and I will be sharing my entire creative process with you as we go in every lesson, indepth and with detailed commentary.

I have selected 30 eyes, all quite unique, so that we can experience a broad spectrum of possibilities, using different colours, trying out a few different approaches and getting a range of different results.
We will be focussing on 2 things: developing a creative habit by incorporating painting into our routine for 30 days, and practising painting eyes with watercolour.

I feel like the eyes are the most intriguing and fun part of the face to draw and paint.
Mastering the art of eyes can make a huge difference to the quality of your artworks.
A painted eye on its own can already be as expressive as an entire portrait.

I think once you've learned the basics of watercolour, and what to keep in mind when drawing or painting eyes, it's just a matter of getting the hang of it, practicing, making friends with your tools and materials, and really getting to know each other, and as far as I can see, the best way to get there is through repetition.

Who is this class for?

While it may seem daunting if you're a complete beginner, don't let that stop you! It's not about making beautiful eyes, it's about getting into a creative roll, practising and having fun. While your results may differ from experienced painters and drawers, you may surprise yourself to see your progress in just 30 days of practice!

I have provided some lessons on the basics for complete beginners to get you started on your watercolour journey before diving into the challenge, so I am hoping that the challenge is accessible to everyone, beginner to advanced, as you are mainly challenging yourself to practice and develop your creative habit and skills during 30 days.

What will you need?

Watercolours, watercolour paper and paintbrushes, as well as a few other basic tools (please see the materials list in the resources).
