Welcome to my new class! I’m so happy to have you here with me. This class is going to be all about painting common fruits & vegetables using watercolor. I’ll take you step-by-step through the process of painting 10 different watercolor fruits & veggies, but the techniques you’ll learn for each of them can be applied to any other ones you want to paint - so if your favorite snack isn’t on the list today, no need to worry.

We’ll start by going over all of the supplies you’ll need and we’ll talk about how to make each of the fruits and vegetables look realistic and pop off the page using the wet-on-wet watercolor technique and utilizing shadows and highlights.

This class is for anyone looking to level up their watercolor skills and learn to paint loose, pop-off-the-page, juicy fruits & vegetables, and is suitable for beginner and intermediate artists.

Here are some resources that may be helpful to you:
