Recently I was teaching watercolors to a beginner, and used this simple abstract landscape as an example, and found that it was a great way to experiment with the materials and have a nice finished product. So I thought it would be a great easy class project for people just starting out.

I also know that all the options for different paints can be daunting and expensive, so I searched and found some some reallly cheap options to get started (links below). Yes, I complain about these paints repeatedly during the class, but for $5, they really aren’t that bad!

NOTE: again, I hate to push Walmart, but wanted to offer a cheap option for people to get materials delivered wherever you might live!
