Welcome to a very special course where we will explore interesting color mixes, work with granulating pigments, master wet-on-wet technique and meditate!

This course is for intermediate artists who already have some experience in watercolor and know how to use main techniques. Here I won’t explain in details how to apply paint on paper or blend colors, instead we will talk about color mixing by temperature and use special tricks.

This artwork will take a few hours to finish so make sure you have enough time to indulge into the process.
