Does not disappoint. Excellent guidance and explanation. Great format. I love Ian's loose style, which has structure and sound design elements.

Ian Fennelly is so friendly and comfortable that even though he makes us tackle crazy hard subjects, I think we all feel like we have a new BFF.

Ian Fennelly
Ian has been a professional artist most of his life. He specializes in watercolour painting and spends most of his life travelling and painting on location. Through the years, Ian developed a keen sense of observation that allows him to include not only the visuals but also the atmosphere, smells, noise and buzz of a place in his work.
Aside from painting, Ian is a passionate art teacher who loves to support artists in their creative journey in whichever way he can.

What will I learn?
In each class, you will complete an entire painting while following Ian's sketching, drawing and painting techniques. As your understanding progresses, each session will increase in difficulty to push you out of your comfort zone and help you grow as an artist.
Ian's learning objectives for this course:
To see and notice things before putting pen onto paper;
To use pencils to establish a simple structure and composition;
To use watercolours to help create both a descriptive and emotional response to the subject;
To use fineliners to help discover and record the detailed street furniture;
To let the picture breathe and focus attention on key areas.
At the end of this program, you will have a deeper understanding of the medium and the process. In addition, you'll be capable of creating an emotional connection between your work and the audience.
