Sobre este curso
Hello to everyone!
Do you find watercolor flowers daunting? If you do, this class is for you! Mimosas are wonderful yellow flowers that are typical in spring here in Italy.
In this class, I will take you step by step through an easy method to paint mimosas. You can apply this same method to other flowers as such as hydrangeas or lilacs.
In this class, you will learn many useful watercolor techniques:
- Wet in wet background
- Desaturate greens to make them more natural
- Add interest with color variation
- Paint glass
- Use unusual tools to easily paint flowers
- Paint easy leaves
- Choose a light source and add consistent shadows
- Add depth to your watercolor through layering
I was so happy with my mimosas, that I decided to teach you this easy but effective technique!
This class is meant for beginners, but you need to have some watercolor practice and control: it's also ideal for intermediate students that find flowers difficult.
I can't wait to see your projects! Join me in the class!
Conheça seu professor
Hi! I'm Elisabetta, an Italian watercolor artist based in Turin, where I live with my husband, my dog and two cats.
I started painting later in life, after a long career in Marketing and Advertising.
When my son left for college, he gave me a watercolor set for my birthday. I started sketching and I never stopped.
I love sketching the world around me: corners of my beautiful city, street scenes, everyday objects around my house, and the food I cook. Sketching is really a self-care routine for me!
I am mainly a watercolor artist, but I also love gouache, oil pastels and colored pencils.
I firmly believe that in art talent is overrated and that anyone can learn!
Practice is key: so let's start sketching toge... Visualizar o perfil completo
Projeto prático de curso
Your project is very straightforward: following my step by step instructions, you will paint a mimosa in a glass vase. You can choose, if you wish, to paint a different flowers, for instance lilac! It would be great to produce a personal project!
For your project, you will need some very basic supplies:
- a pencil
- a kneaded eraser
- a basic watercolor set
- watercolor brushes of different sizes
- watercolor paper, 100% Cotton if possible
- Q tips
- kitchen paper
- 2 jars of water
To carry out your project, you will need some basic colors that you can find in any basic watercolor set:
- lemon yellow
- medium yellow (like cadmium yellow)
- warm yellow (like new gamboge or Indian yellow)
- ultramarine blue
- sap green
- burnt sienna
- phtalo green (or emerald green or viridian)
Remember to upload your project! It allows me to give you my feedback and personalized tip, as well help other students to understand better the expected outcome of this class.
Happy painting!
