Don’t let Covid stop you from learning watercolor!

Have you ever wanted to learn watercolor? Did you feel intimidated by the process or the materials? Well, I’m here to help you learn from the beginning, all of the basics, so that you can create your own watercolor paintings. Maybe you’re dying to create some of the work you’ve seen on Instagram, or you just want to make a simple watercolor painting. Either way, I make watercolor painting simple!

How is my course different?

I make it very easy by walking you through the basics. I show you exactly what I have used for years to achieve brilliant and unique paintings. I take a non-traditional approach to watercolor, by sharing the secrets of botanical artists along with landscape methodology and color exploration. We will begin with traditional methods, and then explore how color exploration and technique makes you unique as an artist. I’ll share with you my process and what I have learned from other artists.

Mini Course Includes

My course covers Technique, Materials, and Secrets other watercolor artists might consider to be a preference, but I consider to be essential for learning. I will share some of my shortcuts for creating beautiful watercolor paintings that I had to take many different watercolor, oil painting, and fine art classes with master painters to finally learn. We will discuss: crosshatching, papers, materials for painting, wet in wet technique for botanicals, and taking your watercolors from paintings to digital creations (in a bonus video).

You might be saying, “Well Andalee, I’m not very artistic.” Or “I cannot draw.”

This course requires no artistic ability.

Not every painter is good at drawing, just like how some graphic designers never sketch. Drawing and painting are two different skills. Yes, we will discuss training your hand and the type of movement you use working with the paper, but you are not required to be able to draw. This course will take you through the basics of using watercolor, how to use the brush, techniques for achieve straight lights, and everything you need to know to make something like the stationary card below:

Watercolor illustration is my passion. Nothing makes me more excited than to share how much watercolor has brought joy to my life, and how it can do the same for you. I’m excited to take you along with me in this journey of learning watercolor.
