3 reasons why this class is special

1. A class where you can directly color people using the technique of transcription
This class offers a unique approach to coloring people through the use of transcription techniques. The method ensures accurate shape drawing, making it easier for beginners to proceed with coloring. With this class, students can complete forms quickly and dedicate more time to creating atmospheric characters through coloring.

2. Smudging is not a mistake, it’s a watercolor technique
Watercolor’s unique smudging effect is often mistakenly perceived as a failure or mistake in water control, when in fact it is one of the most attractive expressions in watercolor. As water is a fundamental component in watercolor painting, it is essential to utilize the inherent properties of water. In this class, we will explore how to determine the ideal amount of water for each brush stroke, and use smudging techniques to achieve a gentle mood and bring our characters to life.

3. Watercolors can also be retouched!
Watercolors can be retouched multiple times, allowing for a wide range of corrections using a brush to remove incorrect paint and reapply it. This technique is similar to using an eraser. With the ability to make corrections, you can draw closer to your vision and achieve a high degree of perfection in your artwork. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, as watercolors are easier to work with than you may believe.
