Course description

Being inspired by the season of blooming waterlilies in the Netherlands, Yana will teach you to paint these amazing flowers in wet-on-wet technique.

Capturing all the flowers’ and leaves’ details can be overwhelming for the composition, thus a good combination of blurry and detailed effects will support you in creating impressionistic vibe of your painting. You will learn how to let watercolor paint flow and enjoy how water can create amazing effects almost without your control.

This is a recording of a LIVE-COURSE.
