Watercolors for Illustrators

Watercolor painting for illustration

Sandra Mejia paints icons and illustrations using a hybrid approach—controlled where precision matters, loose where energy matters. This course teaches both modes and when to deploy each for maximum expressive power.

Through practice exercises and completed paintings (nesting dolls, florals), you'll master brush technique, build value through layering, and understand how watercolor's transparency creates depth. You'll see the complete journey from base layers through black details to final white touches that bring illustrations alive.

The course targets illustrators specifically—your goal isn't gallery-ready fine art, but practical illustrations that work in published contexts. The techniques transfer immediately to your own work.
