We will not be covering any complicated techniques of layering or shading using watercolors. Instead, this class focuses on teaching some essential brush control techniques required to make those smooth curvy profiles we always find in nature, and to look at reference pictures of flowers and leaves and paint simplified and sometimes stylised versions of them.
You will learn:
- Various brush control exercises. The class comes with four free practice sheets I’ve designed for improving hand control
- How to get material for inspiration
- How to convert the composition in a reference image to a simplified painting
- To paint different types of leaves and floral bunches with watercolors in a minimal style
Who is this class for?
This class is great for all levels and especially beginners. I invite you to take this class if:
- You are looking for an easy introduction to botanical illustrations
- You are someone who loves to send out beautiful nature inspired cards and notes that you’ve personally painted
- You love to paint as a hobby but don’t usually get enough time to paint something complicated and time consuming
- You are an already trained artist and want to try a new fun style
Who I am:
I am Devika C Mahajan. I am an artist, illustrator and surface pattern designer from India. I have always loved painting and in late 2018 I took a huge leap of faith, put a stop to my architecture career and started making art hoping to make it a full time job. Thus, The Artsychoke was born in a little corner of my room. Today my little ‘studio’ still remains the same but The Artsychoke has grown into a brand creating artwork for a wide range of products like tech accessories, clothing, home décor, stationery etc.
