Often beginners find it hard to choose the right colors for their paintings.

Painting a beautiful scenery doesn’t have to be complex or time-consuming, you just need the right guidance and you’ll be enjoying cohesive and natural looking finished paintings.

Join me and let’s paint this easy-breezy piece together!

Materials needed:

- Watercolor Paper – I suggest that you use 100% cotton 300 GSM cold pressed paper. Rough texture will also work.

- Watercolor Paints – a regular set with the basic colors would do;

“Happy accidents” are great but being able to create intentional drama in your product photography through unique and effective lighting techniques will arm you with the skills to stand out in the field.
