Experimental Watercolor: Bold and Loose

Learn to make experiments in watercolor on the go and achieve boldness and looseness in every brush stroke

LIFETIME ACCESS

Watercolor is a gorgeous medium that allows us to paint any subject and achieve fascinating results. Transparent washes, realistic textures, and hundreds of shades you can get leave no one indifferent. However, such effects take certain skills. At this course you’ll master them!

Together with Vikrant Shitole, you’ll learn to make a drawing with minimal lines, plan your painting in layers, and see how to choose a color gamut for your work. Details, perspective, shadows, loose and confident strokes – all these aspects will be covered in our lessons.

Under the guidance of Vikrant Shitole, you’ll make 3 very different subjects – a cityscape, a still life, and a tiger and use your new knowledge in practice!
