Sometimes you have a spot or a border that needs an illustration to complete it. This class will show you how to make your own drawings, then sketch over them in ink and color them in with watercolor wash to fill those empty spaces. We'll go over drawing basics to make your drawings look great, ink sketching techniques and how to apply watercolor easily. The instructor will also reveal all the top secret methods she has discovered to fix mistakes in her drawings and paintings. We will explore how to draw different subjects such as landscapes, animals, people etc.
