Intensive Watercolor Course: Waterfalls and Streams

This is a recording of a Livestream.

Light, contrast, perspective, textures, dynamically changing shapes and fresh color palette - this is what makes falling water such an inspiring and challenging subject to paint.
But how to deal with all those elements at once?
In this class Maria will show and explain her approach for painting watercolor streams and waterfalls. You will discover how the combination of different watercolor techniques and the use of contrasts may create volume and sense of light on moving water.

The intensive course is split into two sequences to progressively lead you from brushworkbasics and tonal sketches to creating a complex picture implementing different techniques.
Both days a step-by-step painting demonstration is planned and you’ll also have time to paint your own pictures and to ask questions during each session.

Part one:
- Brushwork and technique exercises
