Supplies

Really really good review of supplies. I’ve been doing online watercolor learning for about a year. This is the first time it all makes sense, what supplies are used and why, and work surface layout present. Omg I’m going to go rearrange my table right now because I see how I’ve been causing myself problems!

Very helpful!

I love how everything is broken down for this segment, in terms of supplies and what’s recommended for beginners. It’s something I wish I’d had in college.

Not Your Usual Materials List

She didn't just give a list of materials, she gave reasons for choosing the ones she recommends as well as showing quick examples of their use. Having the videos short and divided by subject means I didn't get distracted by minutae or overwhelmed with too much information at once. Even showing her own layout of her workspace is incredibly useful in understanding the actual process.

practice, think posture and placement. Today is a new day and a new time to learn. Our errors are where we learn

I have been painting for 54 years. Brushes, pants, equipment. Thought process!!! My first attempt with water color. I was teaching oils while learning acrylic, This is a new ballgame.
