Course description

Spring season in the Netherlands is inevitably connected to flower fields, especially tulip fields.

Yana will create a special atmosphere for you to imagine that you are painting en plein air in the middle of an endless tulip field.

Capturing each flower in the field seems to be an unbearable task and Yana will teach you how to paint all flowers without painting each particular.

We will learn how to combine soft, blended and detailed effects, you will learn how to let watercolor paint flow and at the same time creating tulips shapes.

Our task is to allow colors to blend and flow into each other and still to create a tulips field recognizable.

This is a recording of a Live-Course.
