Course Description

Overview

Hello and welcome to Autumn painting - fall leaves with watercolor!

I know that realistic paintings can be intimidating for many watercolorists. This course will bring the whole process together with layers, and taking your basic paintings (where many of us tending to stop) to the next level of a more realistic look.

This class starts out for beginners but in the end, we will complete a very realistic Maple leaf. I walk you through my steps so even if you are a beginner, I know you can do this one. 

Alright, superstars..... we are going deep into details in this course! 

WHAT YOU WILL DISCOVER IN THIS COURSE:

  • Create a simple Color chart with fall colors.
  • Learn to expand on those colors by adding a Glaze to create more shades and depth.
  • Paint a simple wet in wet leaf by dropping in colors.
  • Dive a little deeper with glazes and create some more realistic details.
  • Practice with pen and ink for quick results, perfect for cards or adding some little touches to your paintings.
  • For our final project, we will create this realistic Maple Leaf using all these techniques plus a touch of little watercolor pencil for extra fine details!

If you have been working with watercolors and are ready for the next step of realism then let's jump in!

I am so thankful to have you here!
