BEGINNING WATERCOLOR 1
In this course delivered online via Zoom, you will learn the basics of watercolor. We will cover different techniques necessary to understand how to paint with the watercolor medium. You will learn washes, color, ‘wet on wet’ and ‘wet on dry’ techniques and more. This class provides a great introduction to painting with watercolor, and for those who already know the basics, it’s a good review of techniques and an opportunity to explore watercolor in more depth.
