The lessons will go over some basic techniques for creating different parts of the finished project.

Finding and Taking House Reference Photos
House materials painting techniques - Wood siding, Bricks and Stones
Trees and Landscaping Painting Techniques
Class Project - Putting it all together into a finished house portrait (I've broken it up into 3 parts)

Supplies I use and other supply suggestions:

Paper - 100% cotton watercolor paper recommended - I use Fluid 100 cold pressed

Paints - Daniel Smith watercolors - colors will be dependent on your reference photo - I mix a lot of colors to try and match bricks or siding colors and different greens for plants and trees are nice to have as well as a neutral tint or payne's gray are helpful.

Brushes - I used Princeton Velvetouch series - you will likely need a wash brush and a medium and small round. You can also try out specialty brushes for different textures such as a dagger, deerfoot, or grainer types of brushes for creating different textures. I use a round 1, 4, 8 and 1/2" wash.

Additional supplies you might want to try: Pigma micron pen or other artist / drafting pen that is waterproof, Graphite Aquarelle pencil or watercolor pencils (I use Faber Castel Graphite Aquarelle HB), Tombow Dual brush maker in color N89 (light gray for adding shadows or adding a bit of shading to white areas) Could also use an alcohol makrer.

Heat tool or dryer optional
