Watercolor Techniques How To Achieve Eye-Catching Ripples And Reflections

About This Class
As a class project, we will be painting this beautiful seascape.
Description
Painting water ripples and reflections can be daunting at a start. But with correct direction and techniques one can master the beautiful world of water and reflections with watercolors.
This was one of the first techniques which after trial and error I was able to master. Gathering all the information from my experience, I have designed this class to help you overcome any obstacles that you might be facing to paint this subject.
This class is for anyone and everyone. It's for someone who is new to watercolors as well as for someone wanting to build on their techniques.
In this class, you will learn
Basic watercolor techniques like wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry
Learn how to paint water ripples
Understand and learn how to paint different kinds of reflections
We will have some practice exercises and you can paint along with me in the class project.
Although we would be painting a boat and its reflection, the techniques learned in the class can be applied to other themes and objects.
