Content
Lesson 1. A piece of paradise.
First of all, we will find ourselves in an absolutely amazing place — in a real paradise, where we will enjoy the stunning panorama with the sea.
Features of the lesson:
From the very first painting you will understand how to convey the effect of bright sunlight, glare and water gradient.
Lesson 2. Over the Old town's rooftops.
Oh, those bright red roofs of the southern houses! The second lesson will be held over the roofs of the Old town, where we will admire the play of light and shadow.
Features of the lesson:
“Building” an urban landscape from an unusual perspective, where we will learn how to alternate different color transitions depending on the lighting.
Lessom 3. The island of Sveti Stefan.
The third lesson is a landscape with the famous Montenegrin island, which we'll make while standing on the seashore at the very edge of the water.
Features of the lesson:
The secret of simple movements for volumetric images of water and sand, combined with detailed background work with the houses on the island.
Lesson 4. Kotor.
In the last lesson we will draw the Old town again, but this time walking under the arch of one of its cozy streets.
Features of the lesson:
You will look at the world as an artist — through the prism of shades, shapes and dynamic lines, using the example of the transition from shadow to light.
Have you long dreamed of painting a "light", sunny watercolor?
Want to stop fearing the failure?
The time to make your dreams come true is NOW!
Join the course and we will do it together!
ARTIST NADJA LEUTLOFF
Hello there! I am Nadia Loitloff.
Even as a child, I dreamed of becoming an artist, but I've started painting only at the age of 41 ...
I live and work in Dresden. By education I am a mathematician. In 2014 I left my job in order to fulfill my dream and become an artist. Having no experience in painting, I devoted myself to learning the basics and daily practice in drawing and watercolors.
Now I paint, teach, give master classes around the world and believe that nothing is impossible!
I am absolutely sure that everyone can draw, because I myself have gone this way!
An exciting learning experience for those who:
- Wants to get distracted from everyday and emotional problems
- Misses the sun, summer and journeys
- Afraid of “blank paper” and experiments
- Loves to draw, but still puts it away
- Have a dream to conquer unruly watercolors
- Already draws and wants to know something new
Create magic on paper!
- You will become friends with unruly watercolors
- You will get the freedom to travel through paintings
- You will dive into the world of creativity, even you haven't drew since school
