What You Will Learn?
- Develop basic techniques and improve your painting skills, through painting birds in this fun and relaxed style! We’ll explore many different techniques and effects you can achieve with the watercolor medium. Painting wildlife is a great way to learn about watercolor because it’s more forgiving than other subjects - it allows you to be more expressive with the paint. You can have fun experimenting with different textures and effects, (like using salt in your paintings), whether you want a loose style or a more detailed one..
- I’ve been painting for many years now, taken part in many exhibitions around the world and won awards from well respected organisations. As well as having my work feature in art magazines. After having success selling my originals and 1000s of prints around the world, I decided to start traveling with my brushes and paintings. My style is modern and attempts to grasp the essence of what I’m painting whilst allowing freedom and expression to come through. I simplify complicated subjects into easier shapes that encourages playfulness..
- Today, I'm going to teach you my process for painting birds. Although the same techniques can apply to all wildlife. The class caters for complete beginners that want an insight into what watercolor can do, as well as advanced painters that want to reach the next level..
