Not exactly abstract but not quite representational either. Join Steve as he takes you through the discovery of loose watercolor techniques that create spectacular landscape paintings with movement, emotion, and feeling. Nothing static or dull here! Each week you will work on a different painting as Steve takes you through the process, step-by-step, of creating loose and abstracted watercolor landscapes. Leave the cares of the world behind as you create beautiful loose watercolor landscapes with just a little more abstraction than you’d expect!

- Techniques for creating loose, expressive watercolor landscapes
