Paint natural objects! They can be fruits or vegetables, flowers or snails, or any living thing that does not move or change very fast, so you have some time to capture it. Aside from learning how to handle watercolor, you may deepen your understanding of nature. We will begin by discussing fundamentals about papers, brushes, and pigments. We will make drawings before painting, and paint in dark and light tones before using color. Painting relatively fast focuses your attention and bypasses judgement while it often brings out the special qualities of watercolor.
Beginning to intermediate. Some drawing skills recommended
