Watercolor landscape painting on-the-go is a great way to learn drawing, watercolor technique, to appreciate nature, and to unlock your creative potential. Watercolors are also the best way to quickly capture the essence of a place. They are vibrant, compact, affordable, and they dry quickly.

However, since watercolor can be scary and intimidating for many people we will build your skill and confidence step by step. From an easy warm-up, to thumbnail sketches, and from color swatches to a complete watercolor landscape we will start with the basics to make you a better artist. This class is for beginner to intermediate levels of drawing and watercolor.

What you will learn:

How to create quick, beautiful, and dynamic landscape paintings.
Basic watercolor techniques: brushes, washes, layering, wet on wet.
Warmup prompts to defeat procrastination and “artists block.”
How to capture the essence of a place.
How to see like an artist.
The power of composition.
How to use atmospheric perspective.
How to choose your colors.
The power of light and dark.
Special tips and tricks for painting outside.

Why take this class: Your watercolors are begging to go for an adventure. Painting from photos at home can not compare to painting outdoors. However, there are some challenges to getting out there. This class is designed to keep it fun and stress-free while also giving you the tools and principles to become a better artist. Many lessons from this class can be applied to your art in general.

Who it is for: Beginner to intermediate artists, aspiring nature journalers, and people who want to learn to paint watercolors outdoors with less fuss. Homeschool families who are looking for art and nature journaling classes will also like this class. Anyone who wants to be able to capture the beauty of landscapes where they live or when they travel.

Your Teacher: I have painted close to 1000 watercolor landscapes in the last 10 years, many in extreme conditions. I have painted on cliffs, on kayaks, balanced on waterfalls, and while hanging from trees in the rainforest canopy. I have hundreds of hours teaching experience online and in person. I am passionate about empowering you to create observation-based art in nature, especially nature journaling. I believe that nature journaling can help save the world’s disappearing biodiversity. I have taught groups, homeschool kids, and I also train teachers around the world. I have created over 400 videos about watercolor landscapes, nature journaling, and sketching on my YouTube channel.
