Welcome to class! Before we get started, I wanted to share a few thoughts…
Note: The paintings in this class were filmed at the start of my watercolor journey – I was super excited about them, and now in 2022…I look at them and question myself! HOWEVER – that means they’re nice and easy. So please enjoy them, paint along…..and get started on your journey!
Supplies are important – but if you don’t have these, try what you DO have. You can always decide to try other paints or brushes later if yours don’t work. If you can’t see the video below, click HERE.

Silver Brush Black Velvet Brushes: I recommend both sizes, but if only getting one, the 8:
Includes: Hansa Yellow Light, Quinacridone Rose, Phthalo Blue – Green Shade, New Gamboge, Pyrrol Scarlet, French Ultramarine.
Instructor’s palette is NOT necessary for this course! Use the colors you have; many students have completed this course just mixing from the 6 essentials.
Palette is not required (you can squeeze blobs of paint on a plate or tile). Instructor uses metal palettes but a plastic one is okay too; be sure you have at least 3 decently sized mixing wells. (See a video on setting up a palette HERE)
