Watercolor Lessons

Practicing stuff makes you better at it. This is alarmingly true! In our watercolor sessions, we'll go over some of my most common techniques and studio setup. At the end, you may not have a "completed" painting, but you'll definitely have something you can come back to afterwards to fill in the details. Art takes time! An hour and a half is a great start, and it can only get better after that.

<h3>Supplies needed</h3>You’ll need your own materials for this 1-hour session. As always, I recommend visiting your local art supply store, but Amazon will do in a pinch. WaterAny kind of cups will do, but you absolutely need water for watercolors. Sorta important.Paper TowelsPaper towels are my #1 watercolor tool. You’ll find out why. I’m guessing you’ll have these lying around the home or know where to get some, so I’m not going to give you a link. Watercolor paintThere are so many different kinds of paints. Off the bat, i’ll recommend a set of Koi watercolors. They’re not too expensive, and you’ll get a great, diverse palette. The watercolors we use will be in “pans”. Those are the little rectangular color blocks you see - as opposed to watercolors in tubes. Which one is better? Both are good! <a href="https://www.amazon.com/SAKURA-Koi-Pocket-Field-Sketch/dp/B001OVG40E/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1A1DJVWJXJ7Q6&amp;keywords=koi%2Bpaint&amp;qid=1707087244&amp;sprefix=koi%2Bpaint%2Caps%2C147&amp;sr=8-2&amp;th=1" title="https://www.amazon.com/SAKURA-Koi-Pocket-Field-Sketch/dp/B001OVG40E/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1A1DJVWJXJ7Q6&amp;keywords=koi%2Bpaint&amp;qid=1707087244&amp;sprefix=koi%2Bpaint%2Caps%2C147&amp;sr=8-2&amp;th=1" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Buy from Amazon</a> (but go to your local art store first &amp; ask them) BrushesDon’t overthink it or overspend. A few watercolor brushes will do to start. Here is a good set to begin with. As you develop your art, you’ll find that you may want larger brushes for wide washes of color, or smaller ones for fine details. Just like with the paint, the quality of the brush makes a big difference in the quality of your art. But don’t dive in &amp; get the best stuff right away. You’ve got so much room to grow. A simple set is fine for now. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Grace-Water-Color-Brush-WS12/dp/B01IQFDF98/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2FOMT6G0X5UN7&amp;keywords=watercolor+brushes&amp;qid=1707087042&amp;sprefix=watercolor+brushes%2Caps%2C119&amp;sr=8-9" title="https://www.amazon.com/Grace-Water-Color-Brush-WS12/dp/B01IQFDF98/ref=sr_1_9?crid=2FOMT6G0X5UN7&amp;keywords=watercolor+brushes&amp;qid=1707087042&amp;sprefix=watercolor+brushes%2Caps%2C119&amp;sr=8-9" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Watercolor brushes </a>(again, go to your local art store first.)If you’re staring at a wall of brushes and are having decision paralysis, get these:Round pointed 6Round 101/2” or 3/4” flat Watercolor PaperThis canson XL watercolor paper will do.
