Description
In this class, I'm going to show you how to paint twelve different mountain landscapes in watercolor. One of the things I struggled with as a beginner was learning how to loosen up my brushstrokes without sacrificing detail.

This class will help you loosen up as well as go through some essential wet-on-wet watercolor techniques that will make your life easier and allow watercolors to 'paint itself'. This class is for beginners to intermediate learners.

How to paint skies, water, and mountains in a soft and loose manner, using wet-in-wet techniques.
