 If you've ever wanted to turn your small sketches or watercolor cards into larger scale paintings but just didn't know how to make that leap, I have got just the thing for you. It's a new series of classes called Landscape Foundations. I've always wished that I had someone to walk me through different elements of landscapes showing me how each would be painted and then how to get them all to work together. So in this level four series of classes that's just what we're going to start to do. In the watercolor trees class number one we're going to do five paintings of single trees. These will have very very simple backgrounds so we will talk a little bit about skies and grasses but mostly we're going to focus on the tree and talk about layering, dropping wet color into wet color, creating calligraphic brush strokes all in three and a half hours of real-time video. These classes are somewhat based on my in-person workshops that cost three to five hundred dollars but way cheaper than that online plus you get to paint in the comfort of your own studio. You need not be a pro to take this class perhaps having taken watercolor jumpstart class with its color theory and technique lessons, some basic facility and practice with watercolor, and of course a willingness to paint up a big blank piece of paper. Visit the class on the website and click on the pre-class lesson to see the kinds of supplies that you might wish to have for the class and some exercises to get you started and let's get busy painting landscapes.
