In this class, we’re going to create these fun and whimsical botanical line art drawings over loose watercolor backgrounds that any beginner can do. Intermediate artists will also love these projects because they’ll get tons of tips and tricks throughout.

We’ll go over the basics of watercolors and how to create super whimsical effects with the wet-on-wet painting technique. I’ll share tips on the different ways to use wet-on-wet and my favorite ways to create these fun backgrounds.

In creating this lovely winter scene illustration, I propose two challenges to you which we then will be tackling together. The goal is to make this deer in the snowy woods look like an illustration that could be used in a children’s book, magazine, or something of that kind.
