Spring is the season that represents life, love, hope, and growth. It is the season that marks the beginning of color with bright colored flowers, green trees, and chirping birds. If you’re someone who’s fascinated by the beauty of spring, then you are in the right place.
My name is Payal. I’m an artist, an art educator, and an entrepreneur based in Bahrain.I go by the name, @thesimplyaesthetic on Instagram.
Coming from Bahrain we do not experience a lot of seasons in their extreme state except for extreme summers. And that is why I sought to explore different beautiful landscapes and seasons by painting them. In this class, we are going to do something of that sort.
We are going to explore the beautiful season of spring together by painting four beautiful landscapes using watercolors.
Watercolors are one of my favorite mediums to work with. There is magic in this medium that always brings me back. It’s all about learning the right techniques and learning how to control your water and your pigments. And once you master that, you can never look back. Don’t worry if you don’t have any prior knowledge about this medium or are still a beginner because I will be walking you through each and every step.
We’ll start off by learning about the right type of art supplies that you’ll need when painting with watercolors. We will then learn some of the basic watercolor techniques that will help you understand this medium better. Next, we’ll move on to learning the elements of springs such as the wildflowers, grass, and the different types of trees, strokes that you can make. And then using a combination of our different watercolor techniques and the elements of spring we will learn how to paint four beautiful spring landscapes.
Everything in this class will be explained in real-time so that you can follow me along. Everything that we learned in this class, such as the watercolor techniques and the elements of spring will not only be useful for the class projects,but you can use them in your own paintings as well.
