Are you starting out on your watercolor journey and looking for some simple and straight forward watercolor tutorials? Or are you a seasoned artist looking for some inspiration? Then this might be the perfect class for you.

Class Overview: One of the highlights of this class is learning how to paint landscapes with a unique watercolor palette. In this Skillshare class, we will paint nature inspired by the beautiful colors of winter. With 7 different class projects, we will paint a new landscape every day together. Each Polaroid or landscape can be completed in less than 10 minutes, offering the perfect mini-tutorial for those with busy schedules. Whether you are hoping to spend an entire morning learning or just have a tiny window each day to focus on your watercolor practice, this class is a great way to invest in your learning.

What you will learn:

-How to analyze a reference photo to simplify the photo composition for our watercolor painting.

-Utilize white gouache to paint snowy elements

-Practice painting trees and skies

-How to paint a landscape with a unique color palette

Why you should take this class: This class is broken down into small digestible lessons making this class ideal for beginners who are just starting out. However, if you are an intermediate or advanced watercolor artist looking to learn new techniques or searching for inspiration, I believe there is something for you here as well. The most unique quality about my watercolor style is my color palette. I take everyday photos and turn them into magical landscapes by utilizing non-traditional colors to paint real-life landscapes.

*A note on handmade paints*

Here is a comprehensive list of all the handmade paints I will be using today. I absolutely love handmade paints because they offer such a wide array of colors that may not be available in traditional brand name paints. However, because handmade paints are mulled by individual paint makers, they carry a much more limited supply of paints and often times colors may not always be in stock at all times.

Addison&Sedgwick: Shadow Dragon, Sunset, Fondant, Orchid, Vintage Violet, Lavender, Wisteria, Dasher, Genuine Indigo, Midnight, Tweed

Stakiwi Colours: Opera, Royal, Mangawhai, Cyan, Shadows, Tanihwa

A Gallo: Neutral Tinte

Schmincke: Pthalo Green (not a handmade brand)
