Fearless Watercolor: Principles that Bring the Magic Out in Your Paintings  Are you ready to unleash the true magic of watercolor? Join me in this dynamic class where we’ll explore the energy, expression, and spontaneity that make watercolor so captivating. You’ll learn how to paint a vibrant street scene full of life and atmosphere without getting bogged down in tiny details.

This class is all about embracing the unpredictable nature of watercolor and letting go of the pressure to achieve perfection. We’ll use bold washes, strong contrasts, and powerful compositions to create a sense of depth, light, and movement in your painting. Rather than focusing on strict technique, you’ll discover how to let the water and paint flow, allowing the beauty of watercolor to come alive through intuitive decisions and spontaneous brushstrokes.

In this class, you’ll learn:

• How to use bold washes to create vibrant, expressive scenes
• Techniques for guiding the eye through your painting with contrast and composition
• How to suggest details like buildings, cars, and light sources without painting every element
• Tips for capturing the mood and atmosphere of a scene with fluidity and ease
• How to embrace “happy accidents” and use watercolor’s unpredictability to your advantage

You’ll also discover how to develop your own captivating compositions by focusing on the principles and elements of design. We’ll explore a plan to help you create powerful and emotive sketches that are uniquely yours. By learning how to balance key compositional elements, you’ll gain the confidence to create artwork that’s not just technically sound, but filled with personal expression and emotion.
