Skies, clouds and sunsets are an endless inspiration for painting. But they also can be as difficult to paint as fascinating to watch. If you as many watercolor beginners struggle with uncontrollable watercolor that spreads in all directions, have difficulties in creating nice cloud shapes and see the lack of contrast in your paintings, this class is for you.

In the tutorial you will find :

5 step-by-step sky painting projects
Exercises for improving water control
Brushwork for clouds explained
Basic techniques’ demos and explanations
Tips for beginners about materials and water/pigment ratio
PDF Guide with the key info
Additional photo references for your independent practice

This class is planned to guide beginner artists from the very basic steps in watercolors to cloudy sunset paintings. Intermediate watercolorists may also find tips and tricks here about painting skies or just enjoy creating sunset paintings with the project's demos.

No particular painting or drawing skills are required. Landscapes and skylines in the projects are easy to paint and explained in each project, so you can just focus on painting skies.

Join the class and enjoy watercolors !
