This challenge explores basic watercolor techniques, creating textures, adding detail, but also absolute basics of sketching different subjects. It promotes and supports quick, fresh and fearless approach to watercolor painting.
Therefore, it's for absolute beginners, as well as for any advanced watercolorists, who find themselves a bit uninspired to paint at the moment and need something quick & easy to get yourself to a more ready state.
Class contains demos that are easier to approach. I'm sure many can benefit from going through all the basics in this short amount of time, as a way of easing ourselves into harder subjects.

What we'll cover in this class:

Watercolor fundaments - how watercolor works, from setting up for painting, basic tools & materials, to basic principles of watercolor painting
How to create a wide range of watercolor effects and use them in a painting
Sketching fundaments - simple, proven ways to quickly sketch any subject
How to create shading in pencil & watercolor
Many useful tips & tricks on working with this medium

How this class works:

This class is designed as a 7 day challenge - it is recommended to take the class as a 7 day course. Each day, there is a short exercise to complete before painting the demo of the day.
There are total 7 exercises and 7 demo paintings, one of each for every day of the challenge.
Each day, completing an exercise & demo should take you between 30 - 90 minutes. All lessons are slow-paced, I encourage you to paint along in real time as you watch each lesson.
You can download resources from the "Projects & Resources" tab, that contain materials PDF, sketches, reference photos, scans of every exercise and demo, step by step photos. These resources will help you to complete your class project and take full advantage of this class.

By the end of this class, you'll have a good idea about how to approach your subjects, how to observe them, sketch and paint them with watercolor medium. You'll know how to use a wide variety of watercolor techniques, but you'll also feel very comfortable with your painting process and inspired to continue creating.

I'm excited to see you in class!
