Brief Introduction
6 ways to paint water, waves and ripplesDescription
This course is aimed at beginners in watercolour, and no previous painting experience is necessary at all.
In this course, I show you six easy ways to capture a body of water in your nature journal, using watercolours, including the ripples, waves and reflections found on water. You can easily transfer this knowledge onto a different body of water, such as a dam or river, by changing the colours used.
Keeping a watercolour nature journal is a fantastic hobby to have, and can be very satisfying. The emphasis is on capturing your memories, so once you know a few simple skills to illustrate various elements of nature, you'll be enjoying a new hobby and creative outlet. You don't need to travel to illustrate a nature journal - you can use your daily life and surroundings as fodder to fill your journal pages.
