Working with watercolor is so much fun, wetting the paper with clear water, pouring the colors and watching them dance and create their own magic. Sometimes painting with watercolor can be incredibly challenging but in the next moment it may surprise you with stunning results which you will be really proud of. I have been using watercolors since childhood and my fascination for this medium has grown so much over these years.

Seasons are one of my favorite subjects to paint, playing with a new color palette to fit the mood of the season and exploring new techniques to bring the essence of different seasons.. it is indeed a thrilling experience. Spring is the season where the landscape comes to live after the cold weather, flowers and greenery everywhere, with no doubt spring is a great subject to paint. 

I'm super excited to invite you all to a  30 Day Watercolor Challenge where we will be together painting 30 gorgeous spring landscapes. I have made such a unique collection so that you will have plenty of techniques to learn from each of the paintings. This class is designed as a daily challenge which will run for 30 days, so starting from today for the next 30 days we will be painting a gorgeous set of spring themed watercolor paintings. We will paint a series of spring evenings, floral meadows, green mountains, forests, lakes and so much more.  This class is suited for artists of all skill levels, even if you have just started using watercolors this class works perfectly. This entire challenge is power packed with incredible techniques and wonderful class projects. I'm certain that by the end of this challenge you all will be a lot more confident in your watercolor skills
