In this class, you will learn how to paint and create a whimsical, brilliant birdie in watercolor and metallics. We’ll create a fun 3D project together that can be turned into frameable art or a greeting card.

We’ll take a deeper dive into:

  • Watercolor paints and their unique qualities
  • Papers, brushes, and supplies
  • Simple, easy-going watercolor techniques you use over and over
  • Working with a limited color palette
  • Five watercolor painting techniques that will help your brilliant birdie GLOW

We’ll cover five essential techniques that will help your paintings glow:  

  • Wet in Wet
  • Wet on Dry
  • Layering and Glazing
  • Layering Metallic Watercolors
  • Painting Brushtroke Bits

I’ll demystify and walk you through each technique step-by-step before we paint the final project together.

Video content delivered in short, technique-based lessons. Downloadable handouts supplies.

Each video lesson breaks down the watercolor painting techniques into smaller chunks giving you the ability to follow along using the practice handout. Then, we’ll put it all together and create a viola floral composition.
