Welcome to my course, Winter Landscape in watercolours. Today we will be painting a simple, beginner level landscape, using a limited palette and very simple techniques. I believe that watercolour is the most relaxing medium, mainly because we use a lot of water in the process. To be able to watch the flow of paint and water on paper feels very therapeutic. That combined with some drawing techniques lets me create some of my favourite scenes I'd like to live in!
Through this class, I hope to share my knowledge and passion of watercolours with you and guide you to paint something you will be very proud of!
