Great for beginners and pros alike!
Watercolor is one of the most diverse and convenient paint mediums, and is considered one of the most difficult painting mediums to master due to the unpredictable nature of the paint. However, the tempestuous quality of watercolor is often a misunderstanding. In this class, we will teach you the nature of watercolor pigment and the proper application of the tools. Alina Chau will show how to sketch with watercolor as well as how to complete a final painting. Students will get to explore various watercolor techniques that are accessible, fun and can apply to everyday practice or a painting project.
