Simple Watercolor Streetscapes and Urban Landscapes

Hi, I'm Darren from Watercolour Mentor. If you're looking for a class that will give you confidence and help you improve your drawing and watercolour painting skills, this is it.

Sketching on a regular basis is an important but often overlooked way to learn how to draw and paint. Sketching allows you to experiment and practice in a fun and low pressure environment - all you need are some paints and a sketchbook or some spare paper! In this class you'll learn how to drawn and paint twelve different landscape scenes. By the end of the course, you will understand how to convert any reference photo into a pencil sketch and watercolour painting.

This course is designed to increase your confidence in executing different watercolour techniques and give you ample practice to build strong painting habits that will set you on the right track in watercolour painting.

I'm excited to get started, so join me in this class and let's have some fun sketching!

In this class we will cover:

• 12 full drawing and painting demonstrations.

• How to draw from a reference photo quickly and loosely, how much detail you need to add, and how to imply more details through painting.

• Various watercolour painting techniques such as wet-in-wet, wet-in-dry, drybrush.

• How to allow paint to mix on the paper for dramatic and interesting washes.

• How to paint simple street scenes and define a light source to create dramatic shadow effects.
