In this class I will go over the basics of watercolor brush control for round brushes. Round brushes have a round belly with a tip and is probably the most used and the most versatile brush anyone can use and it’s definitely the go to brush for beginners.

Starting a hobby in watercolour might be intimidating for some as the medium is so fluid and hard to control, I also have students who finds it hard to control brushes because they're so used to holding pencils, markers and oil pastels without the adequate knowledge of holding a brush, as those were the mediums taught at their schools. And I realised that different people adapt differently to different mediums and holding a brush is one of them, this is why I’ve created this class for true beginners who might not know where to start and to introduce the humble round brush to any of you who wish to start your hobby in watercolours.

This class is full of basic exercises which anyone can do as beginners, as well as for warm ups, for those of you who already has experience in watercolours. I will cover all the basics like the ways of holding a brush, brush pressures, strokes, rotation, understanding paint loads as well as give you some examples of the textures you can create from a single brush. The class then finish off with 2 easy painting exercises which anyone at all levels can create.

I hope you guys enjoy this class and find the exercises useful so you may apply them to the coming paintings you want to create. Have fun and happy painting!
