In this class, we’re going to create these fun and whimsical botanical line art drawings over loose watercolor backgrounds that any beginner can do. Intermediate artists will also love these projects because they’ll get tons of tips and tricks throughout.
We’ll go over the basics of watercolors and how to create super whimsical effects with the wet-on-wet painting technique. I’ll share tips on the different ways to use wet-on-wet and my favorite ways to create these fun backgrounds.
Then we’ll go over how to draw sketchy botanicals. I’ll share tons of examples and how I approach creating sketchy flowers.
Then we’ll work through three projects that will increase in difficulty as we progress. The first will focus on the basic loose watercolor background and one single flower. The second project will focus on adding additional colors and working with multiple botanicals. In the third project we’ll add splatters and work with a bouquet of flowers and greenery.
