Watercolor can be fun for so many reasons. It's therapeutic, creative, experimental, and more. Watercolor: 10 Easy Projects Anyone Can Paint is just what its title says. This class brings you 10 projects that are fun, simple, and best of all, quick! You will learn to produce adorable illustrative watercolor paintings in no time flat. Because each project is broken into its own segment, this class will be perfect for those who don't have a lot of time to spend learning in one sitting. 

This class also covers tonal and opacity swatches. This is the first lesson before moving into projects, and it will guide you through an easy way to produce swatches without worrying about your levels not holding up. It's a wet to dry technique, which blocks off the perfect spacing in between the addition of layers.

You will then move into guided lessons in brush control, creating leaves, using "blobs" of watercolor to create lovely illustrative work by adding ink, and special techniques using additional tools. 

I look forward to seeing you in the class!
