Maximizing the Benefits of Your Watercolor Supplies: Paint in an Impressionist, Realist Style, and Capture a Contrasted and Sunny Landscape!

During our three sessions, we will cover the academic basics of watercolor painting, as taught at the National School of Art in France. Then, we will paint contrasting and sunny landscapes together: a harbor scene with boats in the Mediterranean, a typical American street view, and, if time permits, a nature landscape.

After this course, you will have mastered the basics needed to succeed in creating your travel sketchbooks!  

Links to a video recording of each session will be provided, should you miss a class or want to review a session. Links remain available for 120 days.
