Learn to Create Bokeh Effects Using Watercolor

Bokeh is one of the most popular photography effects which is very much admired among professional photographers. You might have seen photographs with soft backgrounds which are so pleasing to look at. Those glowing soft lights in the background are simply stunning. Achieving a bokeh effect in your photographs isn't an easy job. But painting them is quite easy and my class is all about how you can create beautiful bokeh effects easily with watercolors.

Typically artists use opaque mediums like Acrylic, Oils or Gouache to create bokeh effects, as watercolor is a transparent medium people doesn't tend to use it for certain mediums and bokeh effects is one of them. In this class I will walk you through the materials you will need in detail as well as techniques to make bokeh effects using watercolor easily. 

There are multiple sessions explaining the steps to help make the process easy. This is an easy class which can be followed by beginners as well.
