SUNSETS AND SILHOUETTES - A 30 Day Watercolor Challenge for Beginners

via Skillshare

Overview

Sunsets are so beautiful, it is indeed a magical moment to witness the sky turning into a huge canvas. Sunset are a great inspiration for all the artists, you can learn about wonderful color combinations, light and hues and so much more. I love watching sunsets as well as painting them, you can do it too.

Every day the color palette of the sky is different and there are endless possibilities to explore. This thought has led me to host a 30 Day Watercolor Challenge to highlight the beauty of sunsets. We will create a collection of striking fiery sunsets, soft evenings, pastel sunsets, and even moody somber sunsets.

I'm super excited to invite you all to a  30 Day Watercolor Challenge where we will be together painting 30 gorgeous sunsets. 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 sunset themed watercolor paintings.

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
