Watercolor Basics With Erica Gilliam

I liked the easy, comfortable tone and attitude! The concepts were easy to understand, and easy to follow along. My only criticism was there was no painting, only a talking head, after the “Light and Shadow” video. In talking about planning a piece, or how to fix mistakes, I would have loved to have seen her give examples in real time - from thumbnail to finished piece, or fixing a mistake.

My favorite parts of this class were where it showed in the video the color mixing parts and a lots of great information about how to stay encouraged to keep learning. There were certain parts of the class where I wanted a little more of a visual of how to do certain things since I'm more of a visual learner, but overall, Erica did a wonderful job of communicating and she's very relatable!

A nicely paced easy to follow and understand introduction.

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!

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

I just finished the materials section and it was very well presented!

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.
