Virtual Watercolor Landscapes the Easy Way - Session 2

This class is the second class in our Watercolor Landscapes the Easy Way Series. Though it can be taken on its own, we recommend you first take Virtual Watercolor Landscapes the Easy Way - Session 1

Watercolor is the perfect medium to create gorgeous landscapes. In this class, you'll create a bucolic scene with trees, water, grass, flowers, and a serene sky.  I'll walk you through every step, beginning with the essential techniques needed to complete a landscape and how to use household items and regular house paint brushes to create special effects in your landscape that will make painting it a breeze. 

This class is beginner-friendly and no previous experience is required! You will leave with a finished landscape painting that is ready to be framed and you will be proud to display as well as a host of techniques to add to your toolbox which will enable you to paint any landscape you desire!

Virtual Class FAQ

What will be included in my Virtual Class package?

One ticket includes an access link to your live, online class. The class will be delivered via web conferencing software and feature a live, professional instructor who will walk you through a lesson as described above. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as participate from home.

How many people is my purchase good for?

Each ticket is good for one "device" (i.e. one computer, phone, tablet, etc. you'll be logging in from). This ensures we don't get more people in the class than the instructor can handle. Though we understand some people live together and will be working/learning together, the intent is that each class still allows for the same attention to attendees as if students purchased separately. Please be respectful of this!

Will I need anything from home to use in the class?

You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which you can access your virtual class. We recommend you arrive to class 5-10 minutes early to ensure you're able to set up your device and connection. Additionally, if the class is more than just a lecture you will likely want any materials listed in the course description as "Materials Needed to Participate Fully", though you're welcome to purchase a seat and sit in and just watch.

Am I able to ask questions or interact with the class?

Yes, you'll both be able to ask questions using the chat function in the video hosting software as well as at certain intervals during the class via voice/audio. If the class winds up being on the smaller side, more spontaneous interaction/questions will be encouraged.


Do I have to show my video or speak during class?

While we recommend you do show your video and speak when encouraged to by the instructor, video and audio participation are never mandatory. We find classes have more fun experiences when people are engaging with one another, but understand not everyone will want to do so and that's ok!
