WATERCOLOR PAINTING AMAZING ANIMALS
This beginner to intermediate class will teach a variety of watercolor painting techniques to create 4 different animals over 4 pre-recorded lessons

Please note: In a Self Paced class, there are NO LIVE MEETINGS. This means your child will receive pre-recorded video lessons they can watch at their own pace on whatever schedule works best! Each video lesson will utilize a top view camera to show up close each step in detail. 

I maintain consistent contact with learners throughout the course to answer questions, explain concepts and techniques in more detail, and provide positive and constructive feedback. Your learner decides how interactive this class can be, from quietly/privately completing projects, to sending pictures of every step and communicating daily. 

HOW IT WORKS:

Students are welcome to submit photos and/or video of their work including any explanations they would like to add about their work or process via comments in the classroom or a video explanation. I will give detailed individual feedback to each and every post. I LOVE seeing student work and look forward to seeing each student's individual style shine through in their artwork!

CLASS DETAILS

Each video tutorial will be approximately 30-45 minutes long, videos are broken up into Section 1: The Drawing, Section 2: Watercolor techniques and painting. 

As with all of my classes, if the student's art work takes a different turn, I fully encourage them to go with it and see where it leads! Creativity and the art process is always more important than the product! All drawings and paintings will be demonstrated via a top view camera on quality watercolor paper. 

Students are free to add any materials they wish to enhance their drawings, such as colored pencils, marker, chalk.
