Learn to Paint! A French Street Scene in Watercolor for beginners and intermediate level painters.

Join me in sketching and painting a street scene from France. I show how a complex photograph can be reproduced in loose watercolor. The video is both real time and fast-forward. I have the original photo on my web site, available for download. Download Photo website: shirleypeters.wixsite.com/learntopaint I’ve painted this scene twice now, and I think I’d do better a third time! But in the end, I need to move on. I mention at the end that I saved this painting by using white gouache. Let me know what you think in the comments! AND... apologies for my production fail! It seems that sometimes my music is drowning out my talking. I can't fix this video, but I'll make an effort to ensure it doesn't happen on future vids. Cheers!
