In this lesson I’ll give you some tips on how you can paint seemingly complex scenes more easily.
The painting process is surprisingly similar to how you would paint a more simple subject, so don't be put off by the seeming "complexity" of an object!
And if you give this a try, let me know how you get on in the comments 🙂

Hello! I'm Anthony. An independent artist and illustrator based near Paris in France. Watercolor painting was my first passion. So a few years ago I took out my old paints, and rekindled my love for watercolors. I decided to start sharing some of my watercolor experiences in the form of my blog, “WatercolorAffair.com” (and now through my CZcams channel). My objective was to start sharing some of my hard won knowledge in the hope that it will help and inspire others to paint with watercolors! Thank you for following !

Maybe don't be painting fine details when you tell us not to !

Hi Sally. Quotes from the script in this video:
"Instead of getting lost in the complexity of details, you focus on the overall structure".
And...
"the accuracy of the details is not important. Focus on capturing the essence of the subject rather than every tiny detail, especially in areas where it might be overwhelming".
This is certainly an "intermediate" level painting, but a fun challenge if you're feeling up to it :-)
