Would you like to loosen up with your watercolors and create more expressive and spontaneous paintings?
In this workshop I show you my fun techniques on how I like to stay loose with while creating beautiful skin tones, and expressive splashes of color.
I will also show you various tips on choosing a cohesive color palette to avoid creating mud.
There is also a mini bonus lesson where we incorporate expressive line work with our watercolor to create variety.
There are a total of 2 lessons (1 in-depth lesson + 1 mini lesson) with 2 hours and 40 minutes of content + a printable supportive PDF.
All the videos are downloadable and you have lifetime access.
