Requirements
Discover the beauty of watercolor while creating stylish fashion illustrations inspired by elegant accessories. In this class, you’ll explore essential watercolor techniques and build confidence working with a rich red color palette.
Together, we’ll paint two beautiful projects step by step:
- A striped red bow
- A pair of elegant red shoes
Throughout the class, you’ll learn how to:
• Use the wet-on-wet technique to create soft, blurry edges
• Build dimension using a variety of red shades
• Paint expressive hair textures with loose brushstrokes
• Apply layering techniques to achieve depth and richness
All lessons are easy to follow, with simple step-by-step instructions to guide you through the process. You’ll also find traceable sketches for both class projects in the attachments, so you can skip the sketching stage and start painting right away.
We will use a limited palette in the class and I will show you art materials I will use and even the color swatches of the watercolors.
This class is perfect for intermediate watercolor artists who want to improve their technique, explore color mixing, and create refined, fashion-inspired illustrations.
You’ll also gain confidence in watercolor blending, brush control, and understanding pigment behavior. This class is ideal for artists interested in fashion sketching, modern watercolor illustration, and developing a consistent painting style with a limited color palette.
Grab your brushes and let’s paint something beautiful together!
