Watercolor Painting: Venice Landscape

This Watercolour Line and Wash course is designed for beginners with a desire to learn the essentials of Line and Wash Watercolours.

This class is the first part of a series of Venice themed travel sketching classes, where you will learn how to draw and paint some beautiful Venice landscapes. Join me on a virtual sketching trip of Venice! I've also included some historical facts and videos of this beautiful city.

In this class, I will show you the FUN and EASY way to enter into the world of watercolours, and turn your holiday photographs or any reference picture into simple, yet beautiful paintings. By the end of this course, you will have a firm understanding of the processes and techniques of turning any photograph into a pen and wash painting!

This class is split into two main parts; Part 1 - Turning a photograph into a sketch, and Part 2 - using watercolours to add colour and value. I will walk you through how to complete this painting step by step!

In this Watercolour Painting - Venice Line and Wash course, I will cover basics such as:

• Materials - what paints, paper, brushes and pens you will need

• The correct use of values in painting

• How to sketch a subject easily by simplifying a landscape into basic shapes

• Understanding the basics of perspective, angles and simplifying buildings
