15 Minute Watercolor is a 30-day challenge crafted for beginner artists to help you master the art of painting watercolor skies. Creating watercolor skies can be a bit tricky, particularly for beginners. From getting the paper properly wet to knowing exactly when to drop the colors, it takes practice to get the hang of it. Skies are an integral part of any landscape painting, so learning to paint them is a key skill in your watercolor practice.

This class isn’t just about painting 30 skies; with each project, you’ll also learn how to create various foreground and background elements. We’ll explore different types of mountains, meadows, and much more along the way. The best part about these paintings is that each one takes just 15 minutes to complete. So if you have a little time to spare and want to level up your watercolor skies, you’re in the right place. Each painting is crafted to inspire quick yet satisfying bursts of creativity, encouraging students to explore new techniques, color palettes, and styles in a manageable way.

Since my classes cater to beginners, we’ll take the time to go over the materials in detail.Before each project, I’ll guide you through the colors required to bring your artwork to life.

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

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