Description

Welcome to Coastal Australian Landscapes Made SimpleIn this course, we'll be painting some Australian landscapes from Eastern Victoria (Wilson's Promontory). Being able to capture an impression of a landscape in a quick, fun and loose manner is an essential skill that every artist should learn to master. Watercolour is the perfect medium that allows you to produce spontaneous and expressive paintings on the go.Each landscape in this course can be completed in approximately 30 minutes, including the drawing. I'll show you how to simplify shapes and estimate/pencil in large shapes such as sky, water and land. Getting those large components in accurately is essential for your painting to make sense.In this course you'll learn:How to paint simple paintings of any landscape in watercolourHow to sketch and plan your landscape painting in pencil before you start paintingHow and when to use wet-in-wet watercolour techniques to paint clouds, skies, water and sandHow to paint basic trees and rocks with minimal effort and brushstrokesHow to add people into your landscapes in a natural and simple wayHow to paint water using a variety of essential techniquesHow to layer effectively to add extra detailsHow to combine layers to create depth naturallyHow to paint simple shadows and identify or choose a light source in your paintingSo join me in this course!
