April is the month of rain and mud puddles, which is great for those spring flowers, but not for our watercolor paintings. So how do we get past watery watercolors and muddied colors? The key to that is understanding not our paints, but our water.

That is the true medium of a watercolor painter, but water is defiant! It doesn't take order well and how can you have beautiful paintings without knowing where your paint is going to end up on the paper?

In this class I'll teach you how by:

helping you understand water's deepest darkest secret

how water interacts with itself, your paints, and even your paper

how to apply water to different watercolor techniques

We'll even get back at the water for all it's done to us by using a few tricks to prank it and make it react with our paint in surprising ways! I will demonstrate each step through our class painting. If you follow along, you will have a beautiful watercolor of your own at the end of the class.
