I’ve created a new class in watercolor that I think most people who paint landscapes will enjoy. I call it Stylized Landscape in that most everything in the painting will be unlike your average rectangle, square, or straight line. We’ll create a more stylized approach to everything plus add a bit of abstract to the overall painting. No stress, no errors, no fuss, just good approaches as well as useful techniques that can apply to painting not only landscapes, florals, etc. but just about anything else that you might like to “mix up”.
