This class might be a bit difficult for beginners. You need at least some sketching experience to enjoy this class. If you've never used gouache before, I recommend starting with my other class: "Let's Draw Some Homes." You will learn how to use gouache, make brush strokes, mix different colors, and apply colored pencils to create engaging and colorful drawings.

In this class, you will learn:

What are the best materials to use;
How to mix gouache colors;
How to create a thumbnail sketch;
How to use guidelines to draw a complex perspective
How to use colored pencils to add details.

It is a step-by-step tutorial, so I hope you will find it easy to follow. If you need any help with your sketches or have questions, suggestions or feedback, please don't hesitate to ask me on the Community page.

♥ Looking forward to seeing your beautiful sketches in the Project Gallery! ♥

Enjoy and have fun!
