Welcome to this class on Learning to Paint from Reference Images and building your own watercolour style. After completing both my 100 Day Challenge watercolour classes on Skillshare, the one thing many of my students told me that they struggled with was to paint from a reference picture on their own.
In this class, you’ll learn
- how and where to find reference images
- how to choose a reference image
- how to decide the focal point,
- determine the composition,
- create the tonal and final sketches to analyse your composition in detail,
- choose your colour palette
- the secret to building your own style with watercolours,
- tips for great colour combinations,
- creating linear and aerial perspectives, and
- the art of capturing the foal point in your paintings.
By the end of this class, you’ll have developed the skills and confidence to embark on your own watercolor adventures. You’ll possess the knowledge to find inspiration from those reference images, compose captivating artwork, and bring your visions to life with vibrant colors and mesmerizing techniques.
No matter your skill level, this class welcomes artists of all backgrounds who are eager to learn and embrace the art of painting from reference images.
- If you are a beginner, then this class will be super helpful because you will learn all the aspects of breaking down a reference image along with the example of a class project.
- If you are an advanced or intermediate artist who just happened to drop by here, then I’m sure that you will still find some interesting concepts that can improve your paintings.
