Each session builds on the last, helping you grow your skills, boost your confidence, and fall in love with the beauty of watercolor. You'll explore essential techniques, get to know your materials, and by the end, create your own lovely watercolor pieces to be proud of. But dont worry if you miss a week there will be time for review.
