Double Exposure Watercolor: Painting Nature

To begin, Jessica Janik introduces you to the materials you need for the course and shares her favorite brands and products. She then walks you through her approach to finding inspiration and explains how to create your own double exposure template.

Next, learn the basics of watercolor to develop a proper technique and familiarize yourself with the materials and how this medium behaves. With Jessica as your guide, experiment painting within different-shaped silhouettes and try recreating a variety of effects used by professional artists as a way to hone your skills and understand the intricacies of this technique.

Now it's time to apply what you've learned for the final project. Start by drawing a sketch as your base and transform it layer by layer into a vibrant watercolor painting. Jessica teaches you how to create misty forests and realistic reflections in water as well as how to neatly fit them into a clearly defined silhouette.

To round out the course, Jessica shares some tips on how to easily record a video of your creative process and edit a photo of your final project to share on social media.
