  • Eager to level up your watercolor skills in loose style? Let´s paint a charming Hummingbird with Fuchsia flowers without preliminary pencil sketch, just directly on white paper. Do you find it challenging to paint without pencil sketch? Remove pencil sketch from your paintings and you will see how they will become more dynamic, vivid, full of life and energy of brush strokes. That is the beauty of painting in loose style..

We are moving step by step from simple shape study and creating the guide map for our mind and then gradually we move to the white paper where the magic starts to happen! .
