This is one of the best courses i ever did, maybe the best one. It breaks the frontier of traditional and digital, taking advantage of both worlds. The techniques you learn may serve you to any kind of style, not only loose watercolor: scene building, underpainting, concept art and go on. Even if you finally paint with pastels or oils. Fully recommended, specially if you already have experience with Rebelle and wish to go further.

This is a wonderful class that involves exploring happy accidents. You never know what will come out! It is super exciting watching the paint run and playing instead of a set outcome in your mind. I highly recommend it!
