About This Class
Hello Everyone,Â
Welcome back to another skillshare of mine.
Sunsets are instants of intimate and private contemplation. It's a time when we look at each other without mirrors. A sunset tells us what we are and where we should head to. It's a spiritual guide powered by Mother Nature and one that we should never neglect. Dusk teaches us to be a better person and choose happiness over wealth, careers, resentment, and lies. Sunsets are also intimately connected with love, life, God, friendship, family, the beach, and the ocean.
In this class we'll be learning how to paint three gorgeous and beautiful sunset and silhouette. We'll be working on wet on wet technique and a limited color palette. I've added reference pictures in the project section, you can take reference from those pictures too. i hope you guys enjoy learning these super easy and simple sunset paintings.
This lesson is perfect for watercolor artists of all levels.
If you're a beginner, you will learn the "wet on wet" technique and how to make gradient background. How to do different strokes using your flat brush and round or mop brush.
If you already know how to paint with watercolor, this class will improve your knowledge of watercolor painting skills.
 I will explain you how to:
- use wet on wet technique.
- create volume using color.
- paint grass and trees naturally.
- how to use different elements in sync with your painting.
In the end of the lesson, you will learn how to paint these super easy watercolor sunset paintings.
