Overview
  • Do you love watercolors but are a bit scared of them or have no idea where to start? In this class I'll go over the basics of watercolors: the papers and surfaces you can use, the brushes I use to create all my pieces, the different types of paints available and what to have in mind when choosing one over the other, and some basic watercolor painting techniques and precision exercises that will give you all you need to get started painting. By the end of the class you will have your own finished painting of leaves and you'll feel more confident to start your journey.

    Even if you already know watercolors, maybe you want to see what materials I use and follow along my process of painting my leaves print.
