You don’t need drawing or painting skills to experience the exciting medium of watercolor. I’ve created this class specifically for beginners, but more advanced students enjoy it too. It can serve as the gateway to watercolor or provide a refresher course in the medium. I will walk you, step by step, through the entire painting process and in just four hours you will have a small painting to take home. You will learn to mix the three primary colors (red, yellow, blue) to make all the colors you need for each painting. You will also learn basic watercolor techniques like wet in wet, wet on dry, mingling, and more. With just a few techniques you can paint skies and clouds, trees, reflections in water, the texture of an old barn, and smooth flower petals. Every time you choose a different subject in the Crash Course series, you will learn new techniques and practice mixing colors.
