Introduction to Watercolor

Welcome to watercolor! Watercolor paint is an incredibly playful and flexible medium to work with, but many people do not know where to start. This class breaks down all of the basics.

In this class, you will learn all of the basic skills that you need to begin watercolor painting. You will learn how to mix pigments with water, how to apply paint, and various techniques. You will go over 9 foundational watercolor techniques as a class, breaking down each step along the way. Then you will apply your brand new skills in a floral painting.

This class has about 1.5 hours of instructional time with 30 minutes at the end for students to experiment and play with materials.
