Course Project:

Your project is to create a watercolour landscape, either from one of the demonstrations provided or using your own reference photo. You can trace the included templates if you prefer, but I encourage you to practice drawing freehand to improve your skills. 🌺🖋️

• Drawing Tips: Remember to sketch lightly and loosely in pencil so that your background details, like mountains, are not too pronounced in the final painting.
• Final Touches: Follow the watercolor steps and processes demonstrated in the course to bring your landscape to life.
