• In this class for all students, we will explore watercolor techniques, such as wet in wet, achieving different values, dry brushing, and layering washes of wonderful color. :).
• I will walk you through painting a beautiful, whimsical watercolor portrait in a loose and free style, step by step -- inspired by the master painter, Van Gogh.   .
• I’ve provided a printable drawing for you to trace or draw in the Project Section..
• First, we will chat about the techniques, and then we will dive right in!  I will demonstrate the painting from start to finish, sharing helpful tips and techniques along the way..
• I encourage you to paint along with me. :) .
• We will focus on building up light layers (washes) of color, to create depth and contrast in our portrait. When we are finished, not only will you have a beautiful, loose, whimsical portrait, but you will also have gained valuable experience painting with watercolor..
