Layering watercolors is a simple watercolor technique that is essential for creating depth in your paintings. This class will teach you the basics of layering washes to create a foreground and background - without you even realizing it!
We will cover two different ways to paint pine trees using a flat shaded and round brush, as well as how to compose your forest painting. We will create a stunning forest by adding darker trees on top of a previous layer - and then cut our painting into beautiful gift tags! It’s a fun and practical class that will be a hands on experience. This class is great for beginners, but all levels of artists will enjoy participating in the gift tag craft at the end!
