Learn How to Paint Urban Landscapes With Watercolors
...even if you've never painted before!
Imagine if you could...
- Understand the why behind every brush stroke so you're not copying, you're creating your own art
- Use color mixing to create depth, balance, and light in your paintings… without any muddy paint
- Paint buildings with perspective and proportions that look just right
- Enjoy painting with watercolors as you control water and layers like a pro
- Create urban landscapes that leave your family and friends in awe
Water control is the foundation for urban landscape paintings
But despite its importance, many artists end up with watercolors that are too wet and blurry or dry and overworked - leaving them without the results they imagined.
All because few teachers show students how to work WITH their water and paint instead of trying to control every detail. That’s why so many aspiring artists struggle to enjoy watercolor painting.
But that’s what makes this approach so effective.
Let the paint do the work
You see… This isn’t about learning how to paint a Van Gogh masterpiece or creating a painting to exhibit in the Louvre.
In fact, it’s quite the opposite.
It’s all about learning when to let go and have your water and paint lead the way.
Even if you’re a complete beginner, through this class, you’ll discover the painting secrets to let your watercolors “flow” as you turn urban landscapes into beautiful paintings that you’ll be thrilled to share.
The skills you learn are more important than the supplies you use
Let me put this another way… if you were an aspiring author, would a new pen make you a better writer? Or would improving your writing make you a better writer?
My first set of 10 watercolour paints was $20 and lasted three years.
Those paints helped me learn how to achieve those beautiful watercolor effects - deep shadows, glowing light, and depth in my paintings.
Effects that you’ll soon learn too.
As I progressed, I started to teach students just like you. Now here's my favorite part…
You don’t need talent to paint incredible urban landscapes
After a few years of consistent practice, my art began to win awards.
And this is as a self-taught artist in my 50’s!
In fact… Most of the artists I know started painting after retirement with no formal art education.
You don’t have to be talented.
All it takes is a desire to learn and a simple step-by-step approach to watercolor painting.
Now…
I should probably introduce myself:
Hi! My name is Kishor Sonawane. I’m a self-taught watercolor artist from Toronto, Canada.
I’ve entered several painting competitions and won 15+ awards. My paintings can be found in galleries and private collections around the world.
But it wasn’t always this way…
I spent 5+ years learning watercolors through trial and error.
I know that it can be frustrating to teach yourself watercolors all on your own without anyone to help. I’ve been there.
After privately teaching dozens of students I can confidently say:
Once you understand the basics of watercolor your paintings will quickly take shape.
Soon you’ll be painting urban landscapes that you can be proud of. Let’s do this!
For the first time ever! Introducing...
