In this class, we'll be painting a beach landscape from Victoria, Melbourne. Beach landscapes are simple and beautiful, providing the perfect subject for a beginner watercolor artist. Capturing an impression of a beach landscape in a quick, fun, and loose manner is an essential skill that every artist should learn to master. Watercolour is the perfect medium that allows you to produce spontaneous and expressive paintings on the go.

Planning is crucial. I'll show you how to simplify shapes and sketch in large shapes such as sky, water, and land. Getting those large components in accurately beforehand is essential for your painting to make sense.
