Watercolor Story: Practice the Essentials

via Skillshare

Overview

Three elements: basics, exercises that become polished finished pieces, and my story of how I learned these principles. It's a basics class that doesn’t feel like a textbook.

We learn by doing, right? So let’s just get to it! Each exercise will teach you the essentials while creating something to show for it! Paint these simple pieces to learn big principles while dabbling with these trendy subjects: wood grain, pineapple, florals, monograms, and more.

Questions addressed in this class:

  • Why are some paints so expensive? Which should I buy?
  • What's the different among watercolor paper types?
  • How much water / how much paint to use?
  • Which colors should I pick? How do I create a color scheme?
  • What are resists and how do I use them?

This class is great for beginners and those looking to explore their knowledge in watercolor. Have you been curious about watercolor or feel bogged down by the details? This class is for you.
