Working with watercolor is so much fun, wetting the paper with clear water, pouring the colors and watching them dance and create their own magic. Sometimes painting with watercolor can be incredibly challenging but in the next moment it may surprise you with stunning results which you will be really proud of. I have been using watercolors since childhood and my fascination for this medium has grown so much over these years.

Today I'm here to invite you all to a wonderful journey where you are going to experience watercolors like never before. We will let go of the control we have over the medium and we will allow the colors to do its own magic and by the end of the class you will have a stunning Northern lights with you.

This is a class designed for beginners as well as intermediate artists, I will take you through the materials required and I will explain about the color palette in detail and from there we will move onto our class project.

If you like this class, please leave a review that will help this class reach more students.
