About the final project for: Naturalist Watercolor with Expression and Personality

Naturalist Watercolor with Expression and Personality

“We have reached the end of the course! I hope you enjoyed and allowed yourself to walk in this proposal for a looser and more spontaneous language. Don't forget that this course will be available here at Domestika. See and review as many times as you like and train hard on the various combinations of techniques and you will always get amazing results. Remember, beauty is relative!

I will try to answer whenever possible, but feel free to comment on the work and answer your colleagues' questions as well, as this is the only way to enrich the community and learn from each other. See you soon! Until later! ”

“Final project Congratulations, you’ve reached the end of the course. Let’s do a quick review of everything we’ve learned. Since our main goal is to make our watercolors light and expressive, our main focus was opening our minds up to aesthetic perceptions. At the same time, we deepened our knowledge of the techniques and materials available to us. Then we discovered the importance of planning and using gravity to make it easier to paint or even to create effects. We also looked at reliable ways to make our paintings lighter. Finally, we laid out planning and drafting steps to produce consis...”
