In this course you'll learn how to turn that beautiful photo or view into a watercolor painting that sings!

In my opinion the ability to simplify what you see is a CORNERSTONE of making good art.
And even though good is subjective to some extent - there are still plenty of guidelines to helps up improve our work and ensure it hits right.

Just how much you wish to simplify - that is up to you.
From realistic work and all the way to abstract - this is relevant for the full spectrum.

At the end of the day, you want your paintings to convey your message, whether it's a certain mood, a story or simply the conditions of light and shadow / weather.
And the way you simplify is at the heart of that.
