I liked how Erica took me step by step, with her calming voice, and I learnt a lot of useful technical information. I would have enjoyed doing more actual painting, but I still say Thank you Erica for such an enjoyable course

Erica did a beautiful job of bringing the magic of watercolor to life for me. I was a little overwhelmed because it is all so new to me. Like, how do I get my paint wet enough to use but not too wet. And I don’t know what a “wash” is. We’re talking beginner like never held a paintbrush for decades! But I slowly but surely made my way through the getting-to-know-my-paints lessons. And it was great!

Having read all the other reviews so far so I can only add: I enjoyed it, I was inspired by it and I learned something new and/or aware of something I was not beforehand in every lesson. The one thing I would have liked was to see more of Erica's artwork, both as in inspiration and maybe as a step-by-step or counterpoint to the focus of the particular lesson. She's super talented!

I found the jumps in the video to be a bit distracting, unfortunately. Other than that, the material was presented in a clear and logical fashion, and I was able to gather up some decent bits of information that I'll be using in my watercolor journey.

What i loved most about this course was the painting planning section. It covered so many things that i had been wondering during my time painting. I do which we could see more examples of lessons in action. Specifically the fixing mistakes section.

I loved this class! Erica is so pleasant and creates a warm, inviting environment to learn so many things. I really liked hearing about her own journey starting out with watercolors, because I felt the same about saving my journal for perfect art and I didn't know about layering. l enjoyed the lessons about finding your own style and the difference between copying and using references as well.
I loved this course, even as someone who doesn’t consider herself a beginner anymore, I found a lot of value in the information being provided. The way everything was clear and concise made it easy to follow and digestible. I would definitely recommend this course to someone just starting out in art as well as someone who has been doing it for years!
