This class will include three animals (two bunnies and a white cat) and a few lessons with watercolor tips. We will follow simple steps to create the class project:

  1. Exercise to practice in wet-on-wet technique.

  2. Prepare a sketch.

  3. Prepare color mixes on the palette.

In the description of each Section of the class, you will find info about the art materials I'm using and a scan of the final painting.
