Full Introduction to Watercolour Painting - Self-Paced

This course is a a great way to learn the most essential drawing and painting techniques that would be both fun and useful for all who love drawing. This course is a very detailed step by step guidance through all the main aspects of drawing, such as composition, understanding color, hatching techniques, layering, brush strokes and special effects, thickness of the paint and more! As a teacher, I always aim to create my art classes both fun and useful, trying to give as much information along the way as possible. My goal is not to just have the students draw along, but for them to understand what they are doing and why, so that they can use this knowledge and experience in their own art.

We will create six awesome art projects and multiple practice drawings using different approaches and new techniques each week. Students will have a chance to create a realistic landscape, animal drawings, botanical drawings and portraits. 

I will be uploading a video with a full length drawing process at the beginning of each week, so that the students can follow along and draw together with me. Students can watch the video lessons at their own convenience and send their drawings to the teacher through private messaging or upload them to the classroom.

Students will receive a personalized constructive feedback on their work each week, as well as support and encouragement when needed during the drawing process. I will also promote students' communication with each other by posting an interactive activity for the students to work on together each week, such as trivia quizzes on drawing and fun fact sharing.
