Quiet Place

In this video lesson, you will learn how to combine pen and ink with watercolors (or acrylics) to create this serene "Chair in a Quiet Place" painting.

This is a wonderful painting class suitable for beginners or intermediate students who paint using either watercolors or acrylics.

Whether you are an artist just learning to paint using watercolors or acrylics or you have been painting for years, you will enjoy this video painting lesson. Louise will walk you step-by-step through the entire process of painting this serene landscape.

During this course, Louise will show you how to create a wrought iron chair and table using ink and masking fluid. You'll also learn how to create lots of shadows.

You can use the same painting techniques that she teaches in the course whether you paint with watercolors or acrylics.

If you are an acrylic painter and are interested in learning how to use acrylic paints with watercolor techniques, you might want to start by taking the Pink Wildflower painting lesson. In that video, Louise shows you how to paint part of the flower using watercolors and the other part using acrylics. When you look at the flower, you can't tell the difference!

In this Quiet Place video lesson you will learn:

• how to create black lines using markers
• how to create white highlights using masking fluid
• how to create simple flowers
• basic blending techniques
• how to paint shadows

When you have finished this class you will have a beautiful painting to hang on your wall, to give as a gift, or to sell.

What can I expect in this video lesson?

Louise's calm teaching style will allow you to relax and enjoy your painting journey. She has painted thousands of flowers in her 50+ year career and in this lesson, she'll give you detailed explanations of each step of the painting process.

Louise paints at a pace that is easy to follow so you can paint right along with her. She'll show you how to paint every detail of this painting including every petal, leaf, and tendril. You can start and stop the video as often as needed, rewinding, and fast-forwarding as needed.
