Watercolor Fundamental Course
This watercolor course is designed as a comprehensive learning for anyone eager to explore or deepen their skills in watercolor painting.
You will Learn:

Light and shadow: for realistic depth and volume
Composition and planning: no more messy, confusing sketches
Perspective: both linear and atmospheric
If you:
You don’t know where to start a painting
You feel unsure how to improve or what to practice

What’s included:
10 live in-studio classes (max 10 people)
Step-by-step demonstrations and explanations.
