What is this course about?
This is the most comprehensive watercolor course about cats!
We wanted to create a course, which will foster your creativity and give a lot of knowledge and practical tools for painting cats with watercolor.
Why cats? Because they're an artist's paradise! On their example you can learn numerous nuances of anatomy and composition, learn to see the beauty of line and form, learn to combine different textures from fluffy fur to sharp ears and wiskers.
So if you love animals, take your paints and let's paint warm, sleepy, playful, predatory together ;)
