Course description

Let us introduce: a foggy morning in Prague. Here we will paint skylines and a whole cityscape with watercolor - online!

The course is for those who want to learn to work freely, to get away from sticking to templates and to be able to write their own story in watercolor. This illustration in foggy Prague with a red streetcar is perfect for this purpose.

You will learn to pay attention to color and composition, not to overload the image with details, and at the same time not to be afraid of saturated colors.

We'll show you different techniques to be able to depict interesting effects and tame the blurred boundaries of such a naughty medium as watercolor.
