Focal Points for Storytelling in Watercolour

Learn the art of weaving elements of a watercolour shoreline scene into your subject as artist and teacher Eleanor Doughty (@herbcoil) shows you:

• How to lead your audience’s eye through your piece by establishing the right focal points;

• Crest emotion with a minimal colour palette; and

• Enhance your watercolour piece by adding multiple mediums such as fine liners and ink pens to highlight your subject!

  
  

By the end of this class, you’ll be able to determine which subjects to simplify or emphasize to tell a successful story with your painting. Grab your brushes and let’s make more art!

This class is for beginner to intermediate artists who are well acquainted with the medium and supplies.
