This class is perfect for beginners, who may have played around with watercolors and are looking for an easy project to practice their brush control further.
In this class I will teach you how to paint five different types of leaves. Each unique leaf uses a different technique which makes this class enjoyable and holistic.
We even get a bit crafty and I will share a fun technique to draw and paint a glass vase.
The Class is divided into practice lessons for each type of leaf. In the end we put all the learnings from the practice lessons to create our final class project.
Learnings from this class will not only help you master your brush control but you can use these techniques to paint any botanical artwork – whether it is a leafy wreath or bouquet of flowers.
So are you excited to get started? Bring out all those greens!!!!
