Watercolor Fun: Relax with Simple Patterned Landscapes

Watercolors have a reputation of being a hard medium to master, and many people avoid it altogether or feel immediately discouraged when comparing their first attempts to the works of painters with ten plus years of experience. But everyone was once a beginner and I believe that simple and fun exercises are the most effective way to help you develop your skills.
The fastest way to gain experience is to dive into the topic and make a lot of mess, just like a child. So don't overthink it. You don't need to read 400 pages on a color theory first or watch seventeen tutorials on choosing the right watercolor paper. There is no one right way to use any medium. You are free to experiment all you want, especially with affordable supplies that are available on the market today. That’s why in this class, we'll be using simple strokes, dots, and dashes, to create quick, expressive patterned landscapes. I will keep technical details to a minimum, and I'll make it as easy for you as possible, so you can jump into practice right away and enjoy your creative session. It's a great way to get to know this medium. By putting bigger and smaller marks on the paper, you will slowly get a feel for how much water to use and when. You will also have the opportunity to experiment with mixing colors on a smaller scale without the fear that a wrong choice will ruin a complex composition. This class is for you, even if you are a total beginner and you never held a brush in your hand. All I'm asking is for you to clear your mind and trust the process. If you approach painting with curiosity, instead of comparing yourself to others or worrying about technicalities, your experience will be much more relaxing, pleasant, and rewarding!
