Review: Sketching Landscapes in Pen, Ink and Watercolor (Craftsy course)

Submitted by Teoh Yi Chie on


Sketcher and watercolour artist Shari Blaukopf has just launched her first online watercolour course on Craftsy. It's called Sketching Landscapes in Pen, Ink and Watercolor.

I've been following her blog for a long time and has even featured her drawing tools before here on Parka Blogs.

I've always wanted to learn from her, to see how she mixes and uses watercolour. So I'm delighted to see the course and bought it instantly. At the time of this writing, her Craftsy course page says that more than 500 have enrolled in her course.
