Even if you're a beginner, you have a lot to learn from more advanced content. We're not going over basics like how to do a wash, but this is for those who want to learn how to do a landscape.

What is the Course about?
It's a beautiful feeling to want to sit down and paint...
...until you're there. With the paints, the paper, the brushes... and have no idea where even to start.
Maybe you do the underdrawing, lay down your washes, and then... Wait. How do you even layer this correctly? What if you mess it up?
The self-doubt settles in, the frustration builds up, and what was meant to be pleasant turns into the most frustrating experience.
What if it didn't have to be this way?
From Foundation to Techniques
From composition and colour theory to create a sense of light and shadow in your work, depth, texture and atmosphere, at the end of this course, you will have the confidence and skills to create your original landscape paintings.

I’ve been watching Steve on Youtube for years and he's always easy to understand because he explains it very well. I don’t talk english as a main language, but still no problem.

What will I learn in each class?
Great question! Here is a short description for every single class:
Session 1: Skies
(Length: 1hr)
Learn the secrets to effectively painting the sky by learning about the different cloud types. Steve will go in-depth with the techniques in creating watercolour skies and how to integrate skies in the ground elements to come later.
Session 2: Trees
(Length: 1hr)
Learn how to paint organic trees in a landscape by understanding their structure and rendering them simply. Steve will also talk about how to differentiate trees that are up close and distant, suggesting depth and perspective to your landscape piece.
Session 3: Landforms and Water
(Length: 1hr)
Learn how to paint some of the many elements that make up a landscape by studying hills, rocks, underbrush, and water. In this class, you will discover how these elements flow together into a cohesive whole, completing the final set of elements you need for the final landscape piece.
Session 4: Putting it Altogether
(Length: 1hr)
Learn how to seamlessly blend all the landscape elements to create a captivating and cohesive watercolour masterpiece. Steve will walk you through a step-by-step approach in painting a full landscape scene.
How long is each class?
Each class will be around 90 minutes.
Will this course be completely live?
Pretty much, yes. The teacher will do a live stream for every class. All audio will be live, but the art-making portion is pre-recorded to ensure the best quality with minimum technical issues.
You will be able to participate live through the chat function. The teacher and the host will address all your questions and pause the video if needed.
After each live session, the recording will be available for replay.
During the course, the teacher will also address questions from participants on the Etchr website.
At the end of the course, we will do a fully live Feedback session with the teacher. You'll be able to participate via chat, ask all your questions, and get feedback on your final assignment.
What if I can't attend all the Live classes?
No Problem! Each week has an assigned class. You are welcome to join the Live class and watch the class with other participants or watch the recording of the class at your own time during the week.
We also have a recorded video for each homework that we will upload right after the Live Class takes place.
