Many artists rely on reference photos, and mastering this skill is crucial for creating compelling paintings.

• Composition Guidelines: Understand essential principles of good composition and learn how to strategically add or remove elements to enhance visual interest and captivate your audience.
• Landscape Painting Demos: Follow along as I paint three complete landscape paintings, demonstrating the process from start to finish.
• Watercolor & Gouache Techniques: I'll showcase techniques using both watercolor and gouache, but feel free to use your preferred medium.
• Color Mixing Confidence: Learn to mix colors efficiently using a limited palette, building your confidence and developing a structured approach to color creation. I'll show you how to mix every color needed for the paintings.
• Bonus Reference Photos: I've included two additional reference photos to expand your practice.

Your Project:
