Course Project:

As you progress through the course, follow along with each demonstration. It's crucial to complete the sketching exercise at the beginning of each to enhance your drawing skills. For the main project, create up to 5 landscape paintings based on the reference photos I provide. Upload your masterpieces in the discussion/Q&A for my feedback!

For an additional challenge, select a complex landscape photograph (from online resources or one you've taken) and apply what you've learned to sketch and paint your own landscape. This will not only solidify your newfound skills but also open up endless possibilities for future watercolor adventures!

I'm excited to embark on this creative journey with you. Let's turn those complex landscapes into simplified, expressive works of art. Ready to get started? Let's paint those scenes together and make your watercolor dreams a reality! 🎨✨
