30 Day Watercolor Challenge : Let's Celebrate World Watercolor Month

via Skillshare

Overview

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.
