I haven’t had this much fun with a class project for ages! In this class, Fantasy Garden Watercolour Abstracts, you will learn a step-by-step approach to painting a fantasy landscape, beginning with creating the document and adding a sumptuous watercolour for a background. Once that is done, we will paint our fantastical forest or garden elements, and I will show you many ways to make these more interesting. We will utilize the skill of creating custom brushes as well, for tree or plant elements, and then we will use texture to add plenty of depth and detail.
My goal for you is that you will learn to see space like an artist, conceptualizing from the real world to a whimsical or fantasy world. Creating depth is a challenge we will tackle head-on, and you will get tons of advice as we work our way through the lessons. This will be accomplished by practicing and learning different techniques like brush-making, use of alpha lock, hue and saturation adjustments, drawing assist, layer blending modes, shading and texturing and finally, adding fine detail.
The objective is for you to just let go and explore your creativity and imagination, and to just enjoy learning new ways of painting! I know I have!
