Why You’ll Love Halloween Course
  • 5 Original Halloween Masterclasses
    Each masterclass is based on an original artwork by Anastasiia and guides you through the painting process step by step. You’ll explore different Halloween subjects, from playful characters to an atmospheric night scene, while practicing a variety of watercolor techniques and creating a complete collection of finished illustrations.
  • References & Templates
    Each masterclass includes a reference image and a printable tracing template to make the painting process easier. Use the reference to explore colors and details, or trace the outline if you prefer to focus on watercolor rather than drawing everything from scratch.
  • Step-By-Step Guidance
    Build your watercolor sketching skills while creating complete, beautiful artworks. You’ll explore color mixing, textures, composition, depth and expressive techniques through clear step-by-step explanations designed to be easy to follow, even if you’re still a beginner.
  • Live Reviews & Q&A
    On October 26, Anastasiia will host a live General Review focused on common mistakes across participants’ work and explain how to improve them. You’ll also be able to ask questions during the session. The recording will be added to the course afterwards, so you can watch it later at any time.
  • Beginner Friendly
    Don’t be intimidated by the details! Each artwork is broken down into clear, manageable steps, so you can create beautiful, detailed sketches even if you’re still new to watercolor. Anastasia guides you through the entire process, from the first lines to the final details, explaining what to do and why along the way.
  • Learn At Your Own Pace
    All lessons are pre-recorded and available online, so you can learn whenever it works for you. Pause, replay, return to any step and take as much time as you need to complete each sketch without rushing.
WHAT WE ARE DRAWING
MASTERCLASS 01
HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN
Runtime: 45 minutes

A bright orange pumpkin, a cheeky smile and plenty of Halloween spirit! This playful project is all about enjoying bold color, loose watercolor splashes and expressive details while creating a cheerful jack-o’-lantern full of personality.

Key techniques you will master:
  • Pumpkin Character: Create a cheerful jack-o’-lantern with a bright, friendly expression.

  • Festive Finishing Touches: Add white highlights, expressive outlines and hand-lettered “Happy Halloween” details.
MASTERCLASS 02
SPOOKY BATS
Runtime: 29 minutes

Let the colors do the magic first. We’ll build a dreamy watercolor background with soft pink, yellow and purple washes, then bring it to life with bold bat silhouettes flying across the page. The contrast between the loose background and dark shapes makes this lesson especially fun and expressive.

Meet the friendliest ghost of the season! We’ll use soft lavender shadows, a warm golden lantern and just a touch of pink to give this little character a gentle glow and lots of personality. Playful splashes and loose details keep the whole illustration light, cheerful and full of Halloween charm.

Key techniques you will master:
  • Soft Shading: Create gentle folds and volume with transparent watercolor washes.
  • Warm Glow: Use yellow and orange tones to make the lantern feel luminous.
  • Character Details: Add rosy cheeks, simple facial features and lively splashes.
MASTERCLASS 04
WITCH’S HAT
Runtime: 35 minutes

A curled purple hat, a tiny spider and just the right touch of magic — this project brings all the playful charm of Halloween into one illustration. Rich violet washes, glowing yellow accents and whimsical little details make this sketch feel festive, mysterious and full of personality.

Key techniques you will master:
  • Layered Washes: Build depth and volume in the hat with transparent watercolor layers.
  • Magical Accents: Add stars, a crescent moon and glowing details to bring the hat to life.
  • Witchy Details: Paint the belt, buckle and tiny spider for extra Halloween character.
MASTERCLASS 05
HAUNTED HOUSE
Runtime: 1 hour 2 minutes

Moonlit skies, glowing windows and a crooked little house full of Halloween mystery — this final project brings all the atmosphere together in one magical scene. Deep evening colors, bare twisting trees and a bright pumpkin in the foreground make this illustration feel cozy, spooky and full of seasonal charm.

Key techniques you will master:
  • Atmospheric Backgrounds: Build a glowing night sky with soft color transitions and a luminous moon.
  • House & Light: Paint the haunted house with dark layered washes and warm glowing windows.
