Description
Roxane starts by introducing herself and talking about her journey through the world of illustration and animation. She also tells you about her favorite movies and the photographers who have inspired her.
Next, go over all the materials you need for the course, from paintbrushes to gouache paints. See how to find inspiration in nature, then create a preparatory sketch and choose your color palette.
Now you're ready to start painting! Try your hand at some exercises in the various techniques to help you master gouache, working on contour lines, water and aquatic areas, and color combinations.
Build on these techniques and learn how to create different effects and textures you can use to conquer your final project. Start with the lighter shades and work towards the darker ones, then move on to the aquatic areas and finishing touches, following Roxane's helpful instructions throughout the process.
Once you're happy with your work, find out how to frame it, preserve it, and share it on social media.
