In this watercolor autumn class, we're going to focus on creating a bokeh effect.

Together, we are going to create a beautiful mushroom scene. To do this, we will explore :

  • An easy technique for creating a bokeh effect
  • Mixing and layering watercolors to create deep backgrounds
  • Realism techniques with the painting of a mushroom and grass
  • Various techniques to add to the magic with subtle effects.

Even though this class is best suited for watercolor enthusiasts who are comfortable with managing water, a beginner will benefit from the lessons as they present each part of the preparation (supplies, bokeh exercise) and process (class project painting) with detailed explanations and examples.

Each lesson will help you implement basic and useful watercolor skills as well as nice tricks so you too can create awesome effects like bokeh.

Are you ready to create this magical autumn painting ?  

If so, grab your supplies and don’t forget to share your project to the project gallery !
