Have you ever admired a beautiful monochrome painting?

There is something magical about the color palette. It's incredible to see the depth and dimension we can achieve with a single color.
In this class we will together paint 10 beautiful, unique, minimalist and timeless monochrome winter watercolor paintings.

Throughout the entire class we will be using a single color PAYNE'S GREY, we will play with different tonal values to create an atmosphere, mood and emotions in our painting. To add some highlights we will also be using White Gouache / Watercolor.

Learning to paint monochrome is for beginners and experienced artists alike. All you need is at least one watercolor paint. It will help you better understand the range of values a single pigment can produce and the endless possibilities they offer.

In this class, we will cover:

Tonal values and how to achieve depth and dimension in your paintings
Basic watercolor techniques and techniques to tackle the projects
How to manipulate light and shadow to create contrast in your paintings
How to compose your paintings
Creating a value scale to understand the color

You can use any color of your choice for the projects, it doesn't need to be Paynes grey.

For each project, I explain in detail the different techniques and the steps to follow before we start the main project. This will give you a better idea of how to approach the project. This will also help you to be confident enough to tackle the painting, and you will have a better experience painting and enjoy the process more.

Even if you have no previous experience, you are welcome to join this class. I will explain every little thing in detail so you will not feel like a beginner.

Materials you'll need :

Watercolor Paper - I recommend to use an artist grade watercolor paper which is 100% cotton 140 lb cold pressed paper. I will be using Arches Cold pressed 140 lb. Size - 12x12cm
Brushes - 1''Wash brush, Round Brushes Size 8, Size 6 and Size 2, Flat Brush - 1/2 inch
