Class Description:

Does the prospect of painting with watercolor fill you with equal parts excitement and anxiety?

If you’re ready to dive into watercolors but want some guidance, look no further!

Look, I get it. Watercolors can be scary at first! But I promise that after this class, you’ll feel ready and inspired to take on this marvelous medium for yourself.

What You Will Learn:

  • What materials you need to get started & why

  • How to mix and blend colors to make your own unique look

Supplies You'll Need:
