What will I paint?

In this class, you will learn to use multiple watercolor techniques to paint a winter scene with a red barn. You'll practice controlling the water on your paper and your brush as you paint the sky and tree-line using a wet-on-wet technique. Then, you'll first practice, then paint a fence freehand. I'll teach you how to add light shadows to the white of your paper to make it look like snow and then I'll guide you through painting the red barn. You have the option to print the design onto your watercolor paper using your home printer (located in the Resources Section) or you can use the tracing template to trace the design onto your paper. The video for this class is not sped up- you will watch me paint this project in real time. You are encouraged to use different colors than the reference photo to make this project your own
