To complete the project in this course, students will need to:

Follow along with the instructional videos to sketch the fox using loose, scribbled lines.
Experiment with ink and learn how to apply it freely and spontaneously on the paper to create the outline of the fox.
Transition to watercolor paints and explore the playful application of color, allowing the paints to blend and flow naturally.
Embrace a relaxed and experimental mindset, letting go of perfectionism and enjoying the process of painting.
Share your progress and final artwork with the instructor and fellow students for feedback and encouragement in the Projects and Resources section
Reflect on their experience and newfound skills, celebrating their creative journey and the unique expression captured in their fox painting.

By following these steps and embracing the spirit of creativity and exploration, students will successfully complete the project and gain confidence in their ability to paint with watercolors in a loose and playful style.
