Overview

Welcome to "How to Paint: Watercolor Cacti & Succulents"!

The appeal of growing cacti & succulents has certainly grabbed hold of me as I bought my first plants last year. They're easy to grow and maintain, and so cute to look at!

In this class, you'll learn how to paint four of the most popular types of cacti & succulents in the loose style: beaver tail, saguaro, zebra plant, and echeveria. The loose style just means that we won't be sketching or painting realistically. Instead, we're going to have fun by applying basic watercolor techniques like wet-on-wet, glazing/layering, lifting, and dry brush to paint.

Grab your supplies and let's get started!
