How to Paint Wildflowers Course
Learn to paint wildflowers loosely and detailed with watercolors. Then learn how to add a realistic butterfly in the BONUS painting!
This course is also available in The Art Academy.
Do you want to paint loose watery layers with watercolors? Layers that capture that natural flow of watercolors without overworking them.
Would you like to learn how to "read the wetness" of your paper? And know exactly when you should add or take away color from your painting.
Do you also want to create a vibrant, and realistic focal point in your painting? In this course you'll learn how to paint TWO different focal points, flowers and a butterfly!
Do you want to design your own original composition? Instead of copying me exactly, you will learn how to design a composition based off of reference photos, thumbnail sketches, and your own imagination!
There's a strategy to painting layers with watercolors, and once you understand that strategy you can create both loose and detailed paintings!
What You'll Learn
How to Design an Original Composition:
You will learn how to create thumbnail sketches to plan out a strong composition. This will help you successfully determine where your lines and shapes will go, and avoiding unfixable mistakes when you paint.
The Strategy for Painting Loose, Watery Layers with Watercolors:
It's easy to overwork a watercolor, if you don't know what the paint will do when you add it to the surface of wet paper. In this course I will show you how to control the paint with water, and teach you how to "read the wetness" of the paper so you know when to create water blooms (and when NOT to create them) to achieve the desired affect you want in your painting.
How to Paint Realistic Clovers in the Foreground:
In this course I will teach you the strategy for building layers of paint from background to foreground, and light to dark. This will allow you to achieve the soft watery look of a field of wildflowers in the background, and the vibrant detailed realistic layers of red clovers in the foreground.
