https://www.skillshare.com/classes/Watercolor-101-Everything-You-Need-to-Know-As-a-Beginner-Must-Know-Exercises/632429097

Getting started with any new painting medium can be intimidating and overwhelming for anyone

The vast sea of information out there can make things even more confusing and can take us down rabbit holes that make us waste time we could be spending actually moving our skills forward. 

This course includes everything you need to know as a beginner getting started with watercolor, in one neat package. All of the must-know topics and must-do exercises are included, which will provide a solid foundation to jump off from. Not to mention, you won't spend money on supplies that you don't really need as a beginner watercolor artist.

 

 


✱ What You'll Learn:

  • Must-have watercolor painting supplies
  • The characteristics that set watercolors apart from other painting mediums

✱ Supplies you'll need:

Though I do bring in a few extra supplies to explain about certain techniques and stretching watercolor paper, only basic watercolor painting supplies are really needed to follow along.

  • Watercolor paper
  • Watercolor brushes
  • Backing board

  • Pencil (I use an HB and a 2B in this course)
