The main object of the approach I have taken in this course is to help you decide what you want to paint without the restriction of copying the landscape verbatim. You will be able to make decisions as to what season you paint in, whether the painting shall be a portrait or a landscape, and  most importantly what you will add in terms of buildings and other items of interest, and the layout of each accordingly.In this course I will show you how to sketch an impression of the chosen subject, either on site or from photographs back in the studio. I will then show you how to develop the sketch into a watercolour  painting/drawing thumb nail prior to the final painting. Lastly we will move to the final watercolour painting. This three stage process will be the basis upon which all the lectures are set out. At the end of which you will be able to express yourself in your own style.I have provided, in the downloads, an extensive number of drawings that I have accumulated prior to this course, which will help you to start your own layouts/paintings according to your particular designs. I hope that this will inspire you to collect drawings of your own of buildings and things of interest to you, in order  to form a library in readiness for painting through the utilisation of this process.Recent reviews\"I really enjoy the techniques you use when creating your masterpieces\"  Christy\"Just the sort of course I was looking for. I particularly like the instructor\'s style of watercolour painting, which is important to me when choosing an art course.\" Dorothy
