Ever wished you could paint with watercolors — but without the mess?

Curious how colors can blend and bleed like magic — on your screen?

Welcome to Mastering Digital Watercolor with Adobe Fresco — the class where art gets wet, wild, and 100% digital! Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned artist, this class will show you how to harness the power of Fresco's live brushes to create stunning watercolor effects.

So, what will you learn?

How do I make colors flow and blend like real watercolors?
→ We’ll dive into Fresco’s live watercolor brushes and master the art of digital "wet-on-wet" painting.

Can I achieve the ‘watercolour on paper’ effect digitally?
→ Absolutely! I’ll show you how to control water flow, pigment load, and layering techniques for crisp, vibrant art. And of course we’ll add the paper texture!

How do I stop watercolour from spreading too much and contain it to my sketch lines?

By the end of this class, you’ll have a beautiful digital watercolor piece and the confidence to create your own fluid, colorful masterpieces.
