Description
This Watercolor Night Landscape course is designed for beginners and intermediate learners. This course will show you the essential techniques and design elements of painting night scenes in watercolor.BONUS: 1-hour Lighthouse Workshop included – learn how to paint a sunset and dark sky while preserving a beautiful light effect.Often as beginners, we struggle to understand how to put into practice the essential techniques and theoretical knowledge to create the painting we have in our minds. In night landscapes, it’s important to preserve the first layer of brighter and lighter paint. This creates additional contrast once we add the dark sky in. By the end of this course, you will have a firm understanding of the processes and techniques of transforming a photograph into an original painting with vibrant colours and character. I will walk you through how to complete this painting step by step, and how you can apply this same process to paint other night landscapes.
