Overview

If you've ever wanted to learn watercolor, this class is your first step. We dive into the basics like choosing supplies, how to fill up a watercolor palette, and foundational watercolor techniques -- and then we'll put them together for three fun-and-easy projects to test your new skills and lean into the magic of watercolor painting.
