Description
This course is broken into two sections:
The first day you will study how to paint the chrysanthemum in an outlined style. This is the third subject to learn for every beginner after Bamboo and orchid. It leads to painting some flower petals and leaves. The “Tarashikomi” technique—like “wet on wet” in Western watercolor, will be introduced. The second day will focus on Landscape III, specifically pine tree in landscape and how to paint water and clouds to give atmosphere in painting using the “wash” technique.
