This class takes you to a small town in Provence, France: a cozy street with old stone houses, cobblestone pavement, red roof tiles, wooden shutters, and some greenery.

Old French architecture is great for sketching: it allows you to create stunning artwork while practicing various skills: textures, greenery, perspective, proportions, and, of course, watercolor painting!

In this watercolor class, I will show you a special sketching technique:

We will start by creating a pencil sketch. Then we will paint very loosely with watercolors, letting the paint flow across pencil lines. When the paint dries, we will refine the sketch with a fineliner. After that, we will go back in with another layer of watercolors and then add some details with colored pencils.

After doing this class, you will feel more relaxed about letting the paints run and mix. You will stop trying to color within the lines, which will add extra playfulness to your sketches.
