My favorite course so far! Everyting is perfect: the explanations, the step by step projects leading, the projects themselves... I would recommend doing the Layering course first, as this one feels like the natural continuation of it. Also, by doing it in that order, the Layering projects, more academic oriented, don't feel too 'simple' compared to the 5 AMAZING PROJECTS proposed here. If you have very little watercolour knowledge (like me), this is a must do, asap.

A very fun and informative course. This class is a must for beginners in watercolors, as I have been playing around with watercolors for a few years, but didn't know about various types of washes! A very useful class. The projects turn out very pretty, and the instructor feedback is quick and helpful.

I have been practicing watercolor for a couple of years. I love your courses because you group concepts together. For example...the five washes are presented as a group. On the flip side. I think some of the projects labeled beginner are more intermediate. Over all, I am loving what you have created on this platform. Thank you!

I loved this course. I loved how it showed the lesson and then a project that corresponded with that project. The explanations were amazing and helpful and I really felt confident in doing the project. The only thing I would recommend maybe changing is having the project immediately after the lesson/explanation that way it starts fresh, but otherwise, this was probably the best watercolor lesson I've ever taken and enjoyed.
What I have enjoyed the most is finally connecting with Shelby at the very beginning level for an old timer. She has explained things very well and has given excellent demonstrations as to what materials I need and where to begin - baby steps.
