Welcome! In this course, we'll be painting a village hut scene in watercolor. Natural landscapes are simple and beautiful, providing the perfect subject for a beginner watercolor artist. Adding a man-made object such as a house or hut can create an interesting contrast and help to tell a story. Learning how to capture a landscape in a quick, fun, and loose manner is an essential skill that every artist should learn to master. Watercolour is the perfect medium that allows you to produce spontaneous and expressive paintings on the go.Bonus Workshop Included: Watercolour Landscapes Live Workshop - Bhutan Landscape!Planning is crucial.
