Welcome to the magical world of watercolor landscapes!
If you ever wondered how to capture the beauty of a sunrise or the drama of a stormy landscape, this class is for you!
I will show you how to make your landscape come alive with simple watercolor techniques and tips.
In this class, we will paint 5 different landscapes. At the beginning of the class, I will show you how to paint different types of sky from gradient sunrise to dark grey stormy sky. As a class project, you can paint any of them or even your landscape based on the knowledge you will get.

Lake at Sunrise
Lake in a Rainy Day

Purple Sky After the Rain
Art Materials:
We will use a limited color palette and I will show you colors and color mixes at the beginning of each landscape. I will use up to 5 colors per landscape and all landscapes will have about 3 primary colors in common (Yellow, Cobalt Blue, and Red). So you will be able to use a very small palette of essential colors for painting any of these landscapes.
The most important art supply is watercolor paper. You will need 100% cotton cold-pressed or grain fin paper 300 gsm/ 140 Lbs. I used paper by Arches for all the landscapes.
After we practice in painting the sky and creating detailed foregrounds we will move to painting landscapes. These are the main steps we will follow to paint each of 5 landscapes:
Preparing color mixes.
Drawing a simple sketch.
Painting with watercolor.
All of the landscapes are suitable for the beginners. To make sure you will paint your dream landscape, I shared some simple techniques for painting the foreground and the sky.
At the end of the class, you will learn how to paint different types of landscapes and the main principles you need to follow to paint any landscape with watercolor.
