Online Art classes for adults:
This Artory online art course contains 6 individual watercolour classes based on the 'grasslands' theme: butterflies, a longhorn cow, a fox, a rabbit/hare and thistle flowers. Each artwork will take about 1-2 hours to complete. By the end of this class you’ll have 6 frame-worthy paintings. But more importantly, you’ll have the skills and confidence to more forward and paint any subject in watercolour that you desire!
You’ll also gain access to the private Artory Club facebook group where you can share you work with fellow students from our other online art courses, ask me questions and see my answers to other student’s questions. It’s like your virtual lunch-room where you can meet your fellow classmates, encourage each other and help each other to learn.
The course is now available as part of the Artory Academy, a subscription membership for $40/month which gives you access to all of Artory’s online courses while your subscription is active.
In this class you will learn:
My fool-proof methods for drawing up your artwork, so you don't get stuck on the drawing before the fun part begins (the painting!)
The 2 main watercolour techniques: wet-on-wet and wet-on-dry
How to create the look of soft, fluffy fur with a single brush-stroke
The importance of tones and why your art will always look dull, flat and lifeless without them
How to use your brush correctly and which paper to use (the #1 mistake most beginner watercolorists make is using the wrong materials!)
When to use thick paint and when to use thin
How to paint less but achieve more! Let the watercolour do the work so you don’t have to!
