This course is made for those who want to extend summer and capture the beauty of sunny sea landscapes with watercolor. We'll be working with a multilayer technique: first, we'll quickly create a base with wet-on-wet, and then we'll dive into details with glazing. The course features long, multilayered works, each taking 4-6 hours.
This course is perfect for those who have already mastered the basics of drawing and want to dive deeper into watercolor techniques. Watercolor takes time to practice, which is often hard to achieve in regular training sessions, and that's why this course was created.
The course is perfect for those who want to dedicate time to detailed work on multi-layered landscapes and mastering complex techniques.

Block 6. Conclusion
Conclusion
Our sea journey has come to an end, so let’s summarize and consolidate everything you have learned.
I Draw It Myself
It all depends on your personal pace at which you go through the lessons.
In general, I recommend taking the course slowly. Enjoy the process more.
This course is designed as the third level of difficulty after my courses «I Want to Go to the Sea» and «The Sea in Watercolor».
Since some aspects may be difficult for beginners, I recommend first completing «I Want to Go to the Sea», then «The Sea in Watercolor», and after that continue exploring seascapes in watercolor in this course.
It is never too late to learn to draw. In our school, 30% of students are over 50 years old. They enjoy drawing, developing their skills, creative thinking, and feeling younger in spirit and mind!
