This course is designed for anyone who wants to expand their creativity and knowledge on watercolor art from an artist with many years of experience in the fine art industry.
This course in intended for beginner to intermediate students, but even advanced students looking to practice with a relaxed pace, will learn something from this course too.
In this course we will focus on how to use the Pen & Wash and Wet on Wet technique to achieve a set of beautiful Mosque collection artworks.
This course is a set of 3 paintings in the same style for a few reasons
- Getting to practice the same concept more then once will get you comfortable with the medium, style and object.
- With each painting we learn from it and do even better on the next.
- Having a collection of artwork in the same style makes for beautiful décor and is a great gift too.
In this course we will not only learn the dynamics to watercolor art but by the end of this course you would have created your own set of watercolor Mosque paintings, consisting of 3 different and unique Mosques, yet still maintaining the style of design to make them cohesive as a collection.
I look forward to painting with you soon! :)
