What are the benefits of getting the pro bundle?
Hi, I’m Olga Koelsch, and I’m thrilled to introduce you to a special bundle that brings together my three watercolor MasterCourses: Watercolor Fundamentals, How to Paint Watercolor Transparent Flowers, and Expressive Flowers.
This bundle is perfect for anyone who wants to master the art of watercolor painting, whether you're just starting out or looking to refine your skills.
In Watercolor Fundamentals, we’ll cover everything you need to build a strong foundation—water control, brushstrokes, choosing the best painting tools, color theory, creating smooth gradients, and more. These are the essential techniques that every watercolor artist needs to succeed.
Once you’ve got the basics down, we’ll dive into the delicate and beautiful world of transparent flowers. In Watercolor Transparent Flowers, you’ll learn how to layer transparent washes, blend colors seamlessly, and create lifelike, glowing flowers that truly stand out.
In addition to these two courses, I’m excited to introduce Expressive Flowers—a course designed to guide you on a creative journey while helping you master essential watercolor techniques and develop your unique style. You’ll learn how to control water, create stunning brushstrokes, and paint bold, expressive floral arrangements. This course will not only strengthen your foundation but also encourage personal expression in your art.
By combining these three courses, you’ll not only gain confidence in your watercolor skills but also discover how to create stunning, professional-quality artwork. This bundle offers a comprehensive journey that empowers you to explore your creativity with the right techniques and guidance.
I’m excited to guide you on this creative adventure. Enroll now, and let’s start painting together!
