Get started with the fundamentals of watercolor painting, learning how to choose the right papers, paints and brushes. Study the color wheel, practice mixing colors and learn about value as you explore techniques in direct painting, wet-on-wet, drybrush and washes. You will be painting still lifes by the end of class.
