The main lesson of the course. Together we build a base of understanding how to depict water. What options and combinations of image options exist. We study the works of famous artists, look at various techniques. The main thing in this lesson: a structure that allows you to analyze any of your references in the future and understand "which side to approach". How to start working and complete a watercolor painting as successfully as possible. Make a plan in advance so that in the process you can enjoy only the process.

Learn to LEARN INDEPENDENTLY! I am sharing with you how I learned and explored watercolor and drawing myself. It is very important that every time at the beginning of a new work you do not have the feeling "I don't know how to depict this". So that you already have your personal archive of water images. And, even in the open air, when it is impossible to stop Water, you could get the necessary option from this database. This is what is called a "unique style".

In this course, we don't just draw a reference, we follow the steps you should take when you start working. I show what is usually skipped: analysis by tone, analysis of complex areas and color selection. And only then do we draw a landscape. If you are already an experienced watercolorist and are moving towards your creativity, then choose any similar landscape to draw. Such work will be much more effective and in case of a successful result, you can easily use the work for an exhibition or competition. Which does not happen when repeating the artist's plot.

In this lesson I show you the second way of depicting water. We draw, wetting only one side, in fragments. We analyze and understand for which subjects this method is suitable and where we can use it. We also look at the works of famous artists working in this technique.

In this lesson I will show how to depict water with light and warm highlights, so that yellow does not merge with blue and does not turn into green. We will learn to "juggle" all the techniques to feel as free as possible when drawing water and understanding the plan of action.

In this "bonus" lesson, we will stretch paper on a tablet and draw an interesting plot using the "from a piece" technique. This is not an easy, but very important skill of understanding the tone right away in the moment. If you have never stretched a tablet, then I recommend that you definitely do it and try it. These sensations from the work are completely different from working "dry", "wetting from both sides", but it is better to try once than to hear a hundred times. And this is a great opportunity

In this lesson I offer you several additional references for independent practice. Of course, it is better if you choose your own photos. Remember that it is your own choice - tone, color, composition, that will help to consolidate the skills acquired in the course. I wish you good luck and success!
