Line and Wash for Beginners: Nordic Scenes Made Simple

I love your painting style.  Terrific!

These all are so good, can't believe it was done in an hour!

I love these! I'm looking orward to learning to do some too.

These are beyond words for me. I sure wish I could do loose like this. I also love your painting style and palettes. I aspire to do great figures like these.

On my to try list.They are very nice

Thanks for the like. Your painting is awesome.

I need this class! I'm possibly the slowest watercolor painter ever!😅

This evokes the feeling of a bustling city..so lovely

Thank you. What a wonderful art 😇!

These are beautiful! I need to take your classes. I think that will be a good plan for spring.

Thanks Cristina! Yep, give it a go, these are meant to be imperfect sketches done almost on a whim. So no need to spend too much time on each project :) -Darren

In under an hour?! Amazing! I wish I can be as proficient someday ;) - Sheryl.

Thank Sheryl, I guess I've always been an impatient painter so found a way to do things faster and still somewhat look like the reference haha.

Thank you. What a beautiful painting 😇!!!

Always love your work Darren. I need to get into one of your classes but need to put the time aside. I love line and paint work.

Always enjoy your call to quick action.

I have this in my saved list. I am very interested in this class.  I seem to be a perpetual beginner, and every class takes me a long time till the project is done.  I

Hi Shannon, no rush, you can do a single project/painting each time as there's tons of different scenes in my classes :)

Thanks for that suggestion Darren. That is a really good idea for me to not have such grandiose expectations for myself. That's what always gets me in trouble. I loved the Japanese Flower and Plant Shoppe. I've wanted to go to Japan for decades, and also the Nordic countries. I love world travel and it's nice that you choose these other countries for themes for your art for us. :-)This looks hard, but I know you'll make it manageable for me. :-D

Totally, I think the hardest part is just starting and not having too many expectations, other than seeing the painting through to the end :) I love travel too.. think it's totally worth it to save up and go somewhere different every few years. 

That's an intriguing and great idea to start a new painting with - just start with no expectations except seeing it through to the end. I've just noted that in my new art journal. :-) Yes on that travel plan, too!

Bold use of color on all of your designs! I like the red and yellow houses the best because I’m partly Swedish and Danish.

Glad you like them! Let me know how you go in the class. -Darren

They’re amazing.  Restful for my spirit.

Gorgeous paintings! Your work is amazing.

This is on my to do projects.They are beautiful

Thank you, yes give it a go! If you need help, just reach out. -Darren

love the house paintings- so charming!

How cool! I like how you captured the moment in each scene!

Great eye to capture mood through line and color

I go through my entire process in my class :)

Love this style! They’re all beautiful!

Thank you Darren Yeo for liking my project. Your drawing are amazingly beautiful! I’m in love with them.

Might want to give them a try sometime :)

These watercolors are beautiful!  Great work.

This is the watercolour technique I'd love to master.  Thanks for liking my PatternDraw projects Darren, otherwise I might not've found your class.   I've diarised it for 31/01/2026 in an effort to achieve at least one good-feeling goal for the year :)  Cheers and all the best for 2026.

Hi Robby, I'm sure you'll achieve much more than that :) happy new year and thank you! -Darren

Wow impressive. Quality is so good. They don't feel like done digitally. Great work !

Thank you! They are all done by hand. Black ink and watercolours. -Darren

Really like these line washes Darren

whoa. amazing details and textures 💖

Brilliant. Lots of life in these paintings ...

very good color schemes - nice work!

To play with lines &amp; colors...

Wow! I can’t believe that you did this in under an hour! I love your style! Especially your watercolors with ink!

Looks like a fun class. Maybe it's me but I can't find the reference photos? I mean the one from which the paintings were drawn

Hi, did you check on the class info page? I uploaded a zip file there. 

ah now I can see it. not sure what happened because I checked multiple times … but in any case it's available now. looking forward to taking a stab at it

This one is on my list of to do next classes! LOVE line and wash - and Nordic scenes. Hope to see you in class soon.

These are some scenes I drew and painted as part of my new class:
