Would you love to learn how to experiment more with watercolour styles and techniques in a fun and relaxing way? This class will show you how to paint ice cream in three different styles: pen and wash, loose and more realistic.

Sharone is an artist and author of two best-selling books "Watercolor for the Soul" and "How to Paint it!". She loves to draw and paint for relaxation and joy. Her mission is to show you how simple and accessible creativity can be and how much value and meaning it can bring to your life as well.

This class is suitable for beginners and anyone interested in experimenting more with watercolour techniques and trying out different styles.

What you will learn:

Tips for approaching a subject and how to interpret it for different styles: Sharone will talk you through how she approaches a subject and how to identify the main features. She will talk you through how the techniques and approach varies depending on your chosen style.
Pen & Wash Style: You will learn how to sketch your outlines in pen to provide shape and definition and how to apply simple washes to add a fun splash of colour. Optional outlines are provided for you.
Loose Style: Sharone will show you how to interpret the details of an ice cream in a variety of ways for a loose style, encouraging you to have fun experimenting and trying out different techniques and ways to represent elements of your subject. Optional outlines are provided for you.
More Realistic Style: Sharone will guide you through a more realistic style of ice cream painting, showing you how to gradually build up layers and create texture and fine details. An outline is provided for you to trace.
Inspiration: Throughout the class, Sharone will give you inspiration for turning your projects into fun items like cards, bookmarks and gift tags.

You will need watercolour paper, brushes (small and large), watercolour paints, a waterproof pen, water, a mixing palette, pencil and eraser, and some scrap paper for the splatters. Masking fluid is optional, as is Opaque White paint.
