This is a watercolor bner friendly class where we will paint three simple, lovely tree artworks while covering basic watercolor techniques that will be useful in your creative journey.​

More often than not, when I encourage someone to try out watercolors, they always reply with "Isn't that the most difficult medium to work with" or "Sorry, but I don't think I have the talent required." or even "I don't know which materials to get, there's just too many!"
If you've ever thought the same but have always wanted to try out watercolors as a painting medium, then this class is for you.
The fear of making mistakes, the overwhelming list of art supplies available or the challenge of working with this medium are the three most common reasons why people shy away from watercolors.
But in this class, you will learn how to work with watercolors for the first , how to activate the paint and control the brush load, what's needed to get started and my recommended materials including pigments, paper and brush for those who are in budget or who want to splurge. You'll also equip yourself with basic painting techniques needed to create simple yet stunning watercolor pieces.
We will paint trees using simple shapes since organic shapes are easy to work with and very forgiving. With each tree painting, we will discuss essential watercolor techniques called wet-on-dry, wet-on-wet and glazing. This class offers lots of opportunities to practice the painting techniques mentioned to give you confidence in handling this painting medium.
To help you focus on the lessons, I have also uploaded a PDF guide in the Resources tab where you will find the list of materials required, scanned copies of the exercises for testing out your color palette, brushes and watercolor paper and copies of the finished projects along with prompts that you can work on your own.
You can paint along as you watch the classes or watch and observe first and paint at your own pace. Whichever you prefer, I will guide you through the projects and by the end of the class, you will have simple yet attractive watercolor paintings that you can use in cards, calligraphy projects or a framed artwork for yourself or others. For the love of painting, please upload your watercolor projects in the Projects Gallery and I will give my feedback soon as I can. Let us also appreciate fellow artists' paintings.
The exercises and projects are designed and created with watercolor bners in mind but enthusiasts, hobbyists and experienced painters are also invited to join the fun and share their learnings and insights with us. Together, let us share our knowledge and experience in using watercolors as a medium, which painting technique appeals to us the most and what materials we recommended to use.
If you're ready, gather your materials and let's get started!
PS. If you have questions or clarifications on watercolor techniques, materials and even painting ideas, please use the Discussion tab and soon as I can, I will answer your watercolor queries.
