THE MASTER CLASS CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL
THEORY
At first glance, the reference may seem quite complex. In this lesson, you will learn how to focus on what matters most, avoid getting lost in details, and guide the viewer’s attention to the most compelling parts of the Parisian composition.


PRACTICE

The main goal is to capture Paris in a way few people have seen it before. We will convey the atmosphere of the rooftops and paint the Eiffel Tower as something solid and stable, yet light and delicate at the same time.
We will also learn how to place color accents correctly to achieve a well-balanced, harmonious watercolor painting that creates a strong and pleasant impression on the viewer.
I invite you to… join me on the rooftops! We’re used to the charm of Parisian streets, but this time we’ll discover the French capital from a new perspective: a bird’s-eye view.
I’m sure you’ll enjoy this watercolor journey — we’ll paint Paris in an unusual way, both grounded and atmospheric at the same time.
