WELCOME TO WASH YOUR WAY TO AWESOME WATERCOLOR ART

This class will introduce you to some the basic techniques and how to get the most out of watercolors. If you have used the medium you know it can be very difficult to get good results. That's usually because artists like to control it too much! This will ruin the spontaneous, carefree look that's so beautiful and unique from other mediums.

Watercolor painting is all about knowing when to get out of the way so the paint can create some magic, and when to step in with some finesse so your paintings have depth and believability.

What you will love about this class - Assignments with critiques! I have chosen some students art and shared thoughts and tips on how to solve common issues.
