Learn to paint flora and fauna in watercolor with filigree detailing and enhance your pieces with metallic touches

To capture the fascinating beauty of nature, all you need is paint and water! Artist Elisabeth Götz, better known as Lisi, finds her main inspiration in the delicate textures and intense colors of animals and plants. She complements her realistic watercolors with metallic touches, managing to reproduce the abstract elements that characterize her personal artistic style and that have allowed her to build a community of over 100K followers on Instagram. In this online course, she teaches you how to paint watercolors with filigree motifs and enhance your work with special shiny effects.

Before starting your project, learn the basics of watercolor painting and the application of metallic colors. Lisi also shows you how she finds ideas and inspiration for her art and helps you work on yours from start to finish: the first sketches, the application of the base color, and the decoration with subtle structures and metallic details. Get inspired by the fusion of water and color and enjoy the meditative effect of watercolor painting.
