"As a great artist, nature knows how  to achieve great effects even with small means"

In this course, we will learn from nature to use minimal means to create an  artistic image, learn new techniques, and work with contrasts and nuances. And all this in order to learn how to portray not just a picture, but the atmosphere and mood.

If you don't have some materials?

Above, I have indicated the materials that I recommend and use constantly myself. But your materials may differ and that's okay!
You can use your usual brushes and paints. If you do not have some pigments, many of them can be replaced with similar ones or can be mixed. I use masking fluid in two out of four works and it really comes in handy.
