A course by Jessica Janik
Jessica Janik is an artist specialized in double exposure watercolor painting who currently lives in Dresden. Creativity has followed her through life since childhood and art became a way to relax while she was studying mechanical engineering. The first stages of her art focused heavily on photorealistic drawings.
After experimenting with several different mediums, her drive to evolve creatively led her to painting with watercolors, primarily landscapes. Nevertheless, her creative appetite was not satiated: Jessica wanted to create illustrations with double meaning, include blank spaces, incorporate lively elements, and innovate on classic watercolor techniques by introducing clearly defined edges. Through this desire, she discovered painting in silhouettes with double exposure.
The artists that have influenced her career include early Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, German watercolor artist Nadja Leutloff, and Spanish illustrator Naranjalidad. Over time, painting has taken more of a leading role in Jessica's life, and she enjoys sharing her work with the world and inspiring others.

This is a fun course that presents an interesting way to compose watercolor paintings. I really enjoyed it.

I never noticed that this course was with English subtitles as I spent too much time reading the subtitles that I missed some of the demonstrations. I was rather disappointed in this course as also I do not belong to any social media platforms which are referred to frequently. I gave up so far through and whether I will go back to it at a later date I am not sure.
