There is a special GIVEAWAY to celebrate!

I want to offer 1 year of Skillshare premium membership to one of you by the end of this month, so that you can enjoy learning on the platform for another 12 months, free of charge. All you have to do is to join this new watercolor challenge and post your class project by June 30th. Winner will be announce during first week of July, 2024, in a separate announcement, here on Skillshare.

HOW TO UPLOAD YOUR CLASS PROJECT - Take a photo of all your finished pieces and upload them to "Projects & Resources" tab down below the class. Add all your photos into one project (feel free to post your project even on day 1 with your first painting, you can update the project as you go. Even projects with just 1 painting finished count as a valid giveaway entry). You can also write a bit about your own experience, going through this challenge - in fact, I encourage this and welcome your input greatly. This allows me and other students to see your work and give you personalized feedback. By uploading your project, you also inspire others to join the challenge.

HERE is my example of what a project might look like. Feel free to be creative, snap a foto of your results and post it.

Who is this challenge for?

This challenge explores basic watercolor techniques, creating textures, adding detail, but also absolute basics of sketching different subjects. It promotes and supports quick, fresh and fearless approach to watercolor painting.
Therefore, it's for absolute beginners, as well as all of you - more advanced watercolorists - who find themselves a bit uninspired to paint at the moment and need something quick & easy to get yourself to a more ready state.
Class contains demos that are easier to approach. I'm sure many can benefit from going through all the basics in this short amount of time, as a way of easing ourselves into harder subjects.

Looking forward to see your class projects!

Hey there! I'm Jane and I'm a watercolor artist & illustrator based in Slovakia.

I am self-taught and have been studying watercolor techniques since 2010, applying them in my artworks that I sell all over the world and occasionally exhibit in solo or group shows. You can always find my most recent works on Instagram.

In my art studio, I often host live watercolor workshops and teaching watercolor techniques has been an amazing experience, that even changed the course of my art career. Since the studio opening in 2018, hundreds of people visited my workshops and spent countless hours developing a new passion for watercolor. Some of them are now turning professional artists themselves, which makes me incredibly proud.

I also create regular YouTube videos for watercolor enthusiasts.
