Overview

Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only!

This past year we have all discovered different ways to stay indoors and somewhere we have lost the connection with nature. A year has passed, 4 seasons have passed. Nature changed its color palette and we could only watch it through our windows. As we are celebrating world watercolor month, I thought it’s a great idea to travel around the world to witness all the seasons with watercolors.

This class is designed in a daily challenge forma which will run for 30 days, every week we will be exploring a new season and we will do 7 beautiful watercolor paintings.
Watercolor is a beautiful medium which is known for its transparency and unpredictability. I have been using watercolor since my childhood and every-time I start a new painting, I feel as excited as I was when I started. This course is not just about creating 30 paintings but it is more about learning new techniques, its a power packed course where you will learn so many tips, tricks and techniques which is definitely going to be an asset for your future art practice.

I'm so excited to have you here. Thanks a lot for joining :)
