Flowing Fluid Watercolour Washes - Spencer Meagher will demonstrate how to paint a rural farm using watercolour washes. Learn how to use smooth gradient washes, negative painting for light-colour details, and find a good composition from a reference photo. Check out his reference photo.

Cityscapes in Watercolour - Value Studies and Colour Theory - Alina Tulli will demonstrate how to paint cityscapes. Learn the importance of a good value study and colour theory to create minimalist modern landscapes. Check out this reference photo.

Inspired by Nature - Watercolour Textures, Layers, and Negative Painting - Sandy Allnock will show how to paint a textured tree with watercolour. Learn about colour bleeding in creating soft edges, defining forms with layers, and developing your own line quality. Check out this reference photo.

Watercolour Wildlife - Painting Bold and Bright Animals - Andreea Nae will teach you how to paint a beautiful bright turtle using a limited watercolour palette. By the end of this class, you will gain more confidence in painting with a lot of water and multiple colours. Check out her reference photo and sketch outline.
