But it is also the most rewarding skill to learn to produce high quality art.
If you are one of those artists who’s artwork sometimes appears to be faded and you have always wander how you could improve your painting skills, this course is for you.
I’ve invested years in learning the fundamentals behind watercolour art. When you learn and paint with me, you’ll become a better artist and improve your own signature style.
So I made it a point in this course to really concentrate on tonal values and how to judge tone.
