Korshub's take
Overview
Watercolour Boot Camp is built around drills and practice exercises rather than a single finished painting, on the premise that real skill comes from deliberate repetition, not one-off tutorials. The class pushes past "paint this one thing" instruction toward the fundamentals of handling watercolour so you're prepared to tackle any subject afterward.
Who it's for
Anyone already familiar with watercolour basics who's ready to put in the practice needed to move past the beginner stage.
Key takeaways
- Repeatable drills for building real watercolour skill
- Practice-based learning over one-off finished pieces
- Fundamentals that transfer to any subject you want to paint
About this course
This is Watercolour Boot Camp.
This is a class designed to build your skills so you can kill it in watercolours no matter what subject you want to tackle. This class is about techniques and practice exercises that you need to do to become a better handler of this medium. There is nothing but hard work here, so make a tasty beverage, do some stretches, and settle in at your desk.
Most classes teach you how to paint a thing - nearly instant gratification for that one thing. Practice the techniques in Watercolour Boot Camp and you will be prepared to paint all the things.
You'll grow as an artist, because with specific practice exercises, you'll gain confidence and learn to build paintings with hard-earned skill. Everyone is a beginner at some point, but to move past that stage (guess what I'm going to say...), you need practice.
Let's build your skills in the fundamentals of watercolour handling together. There are no shortcuts. This class is the equivalent of drop and give me twenty.
So, grab some paper. Grab your paints and brushes. We have work to do.
Let’s get started.
