A Step-by-Step Painting for Absolute Beginners: Learn to Paint Expressive, Loose & Easy Watercolor

Chris, this is such a lively and characterful first attempt, the movement between the two hares feels playful and full of energy. I really like the way you have allowed the colours to mingle within the forms, it gives them softness while still keeping their shapes readable. It is great to hear you enjoyed experimenting with the techniques, that willingness to explore is exactly what makes progress happen 😊

Thanks Will.  You're a fantastic teacher and inspiring artist.  I'm on to the next now :)

Thanks very much. This is the first time I’ve shown other people my art, it feels great! X

You did really well! We will be anxious to see more of your work here on Skillshare!
