Are you wondering if this picture is real? Yes, it is! And you can create your own version too.

Watercolor sketching refers to any watercolor work that's completed quickly, with a loose, informal style. It's often used as a "warm-up" for a bigger, more detailed painting, but it's also a great practice for any on-the-go artist.

In this private 10 hours (5 sessions x 2 hours) course taught by the incredibly talented artist Anastasiia you will learn how to make quick sketches, create compositions, paint with watercolors and use different shading techniques.

The course will be aimed at beginners and self-taught urban sketchers who want to fill in the gaps of their understanding of watercolor.
