introduces you to watercolor with watercolor pencils, a natural bridge from drawing to watercolor. This gives you the opportunity to learn color fundamentals and experience the watercolor medium with minimal investment in watercolor supplies. Work this independent mini-course over a weekend or longer. It's up to you how to manage your time. These unique foundation lessons feature bite-size presentations, self-paced rhythm (no deadlines), with varied assignments (do-able!), lots of illustrations and links, and five videos. Start with the basics. Finish with your very own copy of a rarely seen Matisse! |
