Overview
  • This is a class for everyone. Let's get messy.

    In this class, we’ll go from laying down basic washes, to learning how to use types of backruns to our advantage, glazing, dry brush, and more.

    Once we’ve nailed those techniques, we’ll further explore much wilder effects using backruns, special effects, and unusual tools. You’ll build your confidence with creating uninhibited watercolour effects which you can then fearlessly use in your art.

    It’s time to stop trying to tame your paint, so let’s make a splash and get wild with watercolours.

    Let's get started!
